How we handle sink repair in Ponsanooth

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Repair or replace in Ponsanooth?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our full price list.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Ponsanooth

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need sink repair in Ponsanooth?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price covers travel
