Sink Repair in Roche
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Roche, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Sink repair in Roche without replacing anything
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. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and a chipped vanity basin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Colour mixed on the day to match
See our prices page.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Your questions about sink repair in Roche
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you come to Roche?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Roche and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
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.
Common problems we fix in Roche
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Roche
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
