Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Questions from Whitecross
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Whitecross?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whitecross
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Whitecross
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
