Your questions about sink repair in Southdown
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
The whole UK, including all of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
How we handle sink repair in Southdown
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
If you’re in Southdown and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Landlord and trade work in Southdown
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southdown as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.

Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
