Sink repair in Cronberry 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. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Cronberry
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Ayrshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What we are called out for in Cronberry
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Cronberry
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
