Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Colour-matched on site
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to St Mawes. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in St Mawes, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

St Mawes: your questions answered

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?

We cover the entire UK, including St Mawes and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
