Sink repair at your home in Tregurnow

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Tregurnow questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Tregurnow

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Tregurnow. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
