How we handle sink repair in Trevia

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Common questions in Trevia

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Trevia.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL32 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Aftercare tips

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

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

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 it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

When to call us in Trevia

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Common reasons people in Trevia contact us are:

  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Trevia

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
