How we handle sink repair in Trewint
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

When to call us in Trewint
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How soon you can use it again
- If travel is included in the price
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Trewint
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Trewint. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Trewint questions
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Trewint?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Cornwall.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
