Sink repair at your home in Terras
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips on the rim or front edge, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Terras
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
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.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Questions from Terras
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you cover Terras?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Terras from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Common problems we fix in Terras
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price covers travel
- When it can be used again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
