Repair or replace in St Newlyn East?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- Nothing taken out or refitted
See our prices page.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What affects the price in St Newlyn East
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
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 are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
Most customers in St Newlyn East get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in St Newlyn East
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
