How we handle sink repair in Cragg Vale

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. Taps and wastes stay connected. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and fine cracks across the glaze.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cragg Vale. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we are called out for in Cragg Vale

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

Repair or replace in Cragg Vale?

A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Cragg Vale: your questions answered

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlord and trade work in Cragg Vale

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
