Sink repair for Newquay homes

How the visit works

When we visit, 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 tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Newquay questions

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newquay. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Newquay customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
