Sink repair in Crockerhill, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Crockerhill get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What a repair can’t fix
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Crockerhill
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
