How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Crooke. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Crooke
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An original basin worth saving
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crooke
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Crooke, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
How to care for the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Crooke questions
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
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.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
