Sink repair in St Teath, done in place
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and chips from dropped toiletries.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Before you book anyone

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to St Teath. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically 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
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Most customers in St Teath get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Questions from St Teath
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
