About our sink repair in St Ive Cross
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back.

Common questions in St Ive Cross
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you cover St Ive Cross?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to St Ive Cross. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets

- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How the visit works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including St Ive Cross. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most clients in St Ive Cross get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
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.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need sink repair in St Ive Cross?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
Comparing quotes
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to look after the finish
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
