Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Common questions in Crackleybank
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you come to Crackleybank?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Crackleybank and the rest of Shropshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
