DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Crook: your questions answered
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What affects the price in Crook
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
What we are called out for in Crook
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Cracks starting at the waste
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Aftercare advice
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
