Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Bulls Cross: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Bulls Cross
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped basin edge
