DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, 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.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Common questions in St Martin
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Martin as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a price
For a price in St Martin, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

When a repair isn’t the answer

What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
