Sink repair in Cradlewell, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim, on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Cradlewell

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repairing versus replacing in Cradlewell
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
