If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitemoor

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitemoor as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Common questions in Whitemoor

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What areas do you cover?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PL26 postcode.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

  • Chips on a built-in basin

Our hiring checklist

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.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
