Sink repair in Wheal Kitty, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlord and trade work in Wheal Kitty
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
