Sink repair in Crockerhill without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to care for the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.

Common problems we fix in Crockerhill

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin

10 questions to ask before booking

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Crockerhill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Crockerhill

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Crockerhill. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crockerhill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
