Questions from Polruan
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL23 postcode.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Related advice
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Repairing versus replacing in Polruan
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Polruan. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Polruan
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
