Sink repair at your home in Crookhall
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
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.
