How we handle sink repair in Reawla

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Reawla and across Cornwall.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Reawla

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Reawla is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

When can you do it?

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

Do you come to Reawla?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Reawla and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Common problems we fix in Reawla

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Reawla

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done 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 usually the cheaper route.
