FAQs for Penryn
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you come to Penryn?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Penryn for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
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.
How much does sink repair cost in Penryn?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
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.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on

What else we do in Penryn
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
