Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners.

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Signs you need sink repair in Croft

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crack near the taps

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Croft questions

How much does sink repair cost in Croft?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you come to Croft?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Croft from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Landlord and trade work in Croft

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
