How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Crockham Hill: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Signs you need sink repair in Crockham Hill

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips around the rim
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • An antique basin with chips

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Landlord and trade work in Crockham Hill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crockham Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Crockham Hill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

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