About our sink repair in Cresswell

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Somewhere like Cresswell, an older basin can be hard to match if replaced. A repair keeps everything matching.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Cresswell questions

Can you restore the original basins in an older house in Cresswell?

Generally: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We will give you an honest view from photos.

Will you travel to Cresswell?

We do: Cresswell is covered like any town. Just mention any tricky access.

Do you come to Cresswell?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cresswell from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you cover the whole of Staffordshire?

The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Wipe the basin over after use, 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.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cresswell. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole basin

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it. In a village or hamlet like Cresswell, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. 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.
