Sink & basin repair in Parkfield, Cornwall
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Parkfield, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Sink repair at your home in Parkfield
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Through cracks that let water out

What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Parkfield. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Advice
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
