Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Questions from Wheal Rose
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Are there extra charges for Wheal Rose?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Wheal Rose included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Wheal Rose. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
