DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Crofton
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.

What we’re called out for in Crofton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- How the room is protected while they work
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs
- Same prices wherever you are

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Crofton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
