Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Sink repair at your home in Penzance
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Penzance. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Penzance. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Other services in Penzance
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
FAQs for Penzance
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you cover Penzance?
We do. Technicians travel to Penzance from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
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. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Nothing taken out or refitted
