A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and fine cracks across the glaze, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cranbourne as everywhere else we work.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Common questions in Cranbourne

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Cranbourne is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us photos and we will tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Cranbourne. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranbourne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Cranbourne

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 generally cheaper.

When to call us in Cranbourne

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.

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
