Sink Repair for Tregidden homes
Damaged basin in Tregidden? We repair it in place, match it on site and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks starting at the waste
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Common questions in Tregidden
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you come to Tregidden?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tregidden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
