St Erth: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so St Erth is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around St Erth, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
