What affects the price in Wherrytown
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is 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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Wherrytown: your questions answered

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
When can you do it?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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 will not last.
Repairing versus replacing in Wherrytown
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
