Sink repair for Cranford St John homes

Sink repair at your home in Cranford St John

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Read our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Cranford St John: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you cover the whole of Northamptonshire?

The whole UK, including all of Northamptonshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
