Sink repair near Tregony

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Sink repair in Tregony, done in place

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about sink repair in Tregony

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Tregony

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

How to look after the repair

To keep it looking its best:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

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

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
