Sink repair for Mevagissey homes

Keeping it looking good

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Sink repair in Mevagissey, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Mevagissey, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Mevagissey

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you come to Mevagissey?

We do. We send a technician to Mevagissey for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlord and trade work in Mevagissey

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mevagissey use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the following day.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
