What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
If you’re in Portwrinkle and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
How we handle sink repair in Portwrinkle
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we are called out for in Portwrinkle
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Questions from Portwrinkle
Do you come to Portwrinkle?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Portwrinkle. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
