Sink repair at your home in Truro
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s chips around the rim and knocks from hair straighteners, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Truro as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

FAQs for Truro
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Truro get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Colour mixed on the day to match
