Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crawfordjohn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Sink repair in Crawfordjohn without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crawfordjohn as everywhere else we work.

When to call us in Crawfordjohn

- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crawfordjohn
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Common questions in Crawfordjohn
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?

Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What affects the price in Crawfordjohn
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Crawfordjohn. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
