What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare

- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

FAQs for Crew's Hole
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What affects the price in Crew's Hole
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
