Upton Cross: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Upton Cross?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Upton Cross. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. 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 pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Signs you need sink repair in Upton Cross
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Clients typically contact us about:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
Before booking anyone
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Upton Cross

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
