Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Sink repair in Trewennack, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Repairing versus replacing in Trewennack

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Trewennack

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 Trewennack as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Our hiring checklist

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Common questions in Trewennack

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you cover Trewennack?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Trewennack and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Trewennack?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TR13 postcode.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
