How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Our hiring checklist

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Cranwell?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Cranwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

See our prices page.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Cranwell

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

When can you do it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
