About our sink repair in Penmarth
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and chips from dropped toiletries.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Your questions about sink repair in Penmarth
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you work in Penmarth?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penmarth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Common problems we fix in Penmarth
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
