Sink repair in Mylor Churchtown, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips from dropped toiletries, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mylor Churchtown as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Mylor Churchtown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Which areas do you work in?

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
