Trusted sink repair in Trelissick

How we handle sink repair in Trelissick

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and an antique basin with chips.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trelissick

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trelissick as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

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

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Trelissick. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Your questions about sink repair in Trelissick

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you cover Trelissick?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Trelissick from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
