Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
About our sink repair in Polbathic
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and an antique basin with chips.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Polbathic and across Cornwall.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Polbathic
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A chipped basin edge
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Polbathic: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
How much does sink repair cost in Polbathic?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Polbathic
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
