Sink repair in Porthcurno, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin, we can help.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Porthcurno
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthcurno use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What else we do in Porthcurno
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
What we are called out for in Porthcurno
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
