Landlord and trade work in Perran Downs
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Perran Downs use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Common problems we fix in Perran Downs
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Perran Downs. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Perran Downs, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Perran Downs questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
