Cringles: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Cringles. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in Cringles

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
