About our sink repair in Pillaton
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips on the rim or front edge and fine cracks across the glaze, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What else we do in Pillaton
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pillaton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Same prices wherever you are
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Pillaton: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.
How do I book?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
We cover the whole UK, including Pillaton and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
