Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Sink repair in Praa Sands, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Praa Sands and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

FAQs for Praa Sands
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Praa Sands?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
