The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Crabtree: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Crabtree?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Crabtree. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crabtree.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crabtree
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
