Sink repair in Cranmore without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

FAQs for Cranmore
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BA4 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Cranmore
If you manage property in Cranmore, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
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.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
