How we handle sink repair in Crofthandy
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We’re frequently asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and cracks starting at the waste, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Landlord and trade work in Crofthandy
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Crofthandy questions
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What affects the price in Crofthandy
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Crofthandy. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
