St Buryan questions

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How much does sink repair cost in St Buryan?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you work in St Buryan?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to St Buryan and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.

When to call us in St Buryan

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in St Buryan

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for St Buryan. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for St Buryan. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in St Buryan, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in St Buryan

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

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.
