About our sink repair in Croft

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s chips around the rim and cracks starting at the waste, we can generally put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Croft

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Croft. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Do you need sink repair in Croft?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Cracks starting at the waste

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
