Sink repair in Crapstone without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps, we can generally put it right.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Crapstone questions
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Crapstone included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What we cannot put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Do you need sink repair in Crapstone?
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An antique basin with chips

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
