Sink repair in Sennen, done in place

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The damage is cleaned and prepared.
We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.

Questions from Sennen

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

Don’t overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners
Store toiletries on a shelf
Use a heat mat for hair tools

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

How hard the colour is to match
What kind of damage it is
How many items we do on one visit
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

One sharp close-up of the damage
Details of any past repairs
Something in shot to show the size
Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sennen

Letting agents often send us photos 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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
