About our sink repair in Tresavean
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When to call us in Tresavean
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- Whether they match the colour on site
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
