What else we do in Porcupine
Porcupine questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Porcupine.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Porcupine
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Chips around the rim
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Porcupine, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
