How we handle sink repair in Tywardreath
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Tywardreath: your questions answered
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Tywardreath?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Work for landlords and builders
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tywardreath as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Tywardreath. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
