FAQs for Crofton
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Common problems we fix in Crofton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Look out for these signs:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crofton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
