Sink repair in St Blazey, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

What a repair can’t fix
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for St Blazey. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for St Blazey. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repair or replace in St Blazey?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why choose Surface Doctor in St Blazey

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
