Sink repair for Cranbrook homes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cranbrook

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

How we handle sink repair in Cranbrook

We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped vanity basin, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Cranbrook: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Cranbrook get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
