What affects the price in Tregurtha Downs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Tregurtha Downs: your questions answered
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
