Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Crofty. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Repairs from £95
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
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.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Sink repair in Crofty without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
FAQs for Crofty
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Do you come to Crofty?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Crofty from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Crofty. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Other services in Crofty
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Do you need sink repair in Crofty?
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
The things clients generally mention when they call are:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
