Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features 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 polish the repair to suit.
Sink repair at your home in St Agnes
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

St Agnes: your questions answered
Do you come to St Agnes?
We do. Repair technicians travel to St Agnes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Repairing versus replacing in St Agnes
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. 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.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
See our prices page.
What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Do you need sink repair in St Agnes?
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped vanity basin
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips around the rim

How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
