How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice
FAQs for Scredda
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Scredda. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Scredda, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Scredda, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Scredda as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Scredda
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
