Sink repair in Penwithick without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Questions from Penwithick
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you come to Penwithick?
We do. We send a technician to Penwithick for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need sink repair in Penwithick?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners

How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.
- 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in Penwithick get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
