Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair in Cropper without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and cracks starting at the waste, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

The process
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Your questions about sink repair in Cropper

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

We do not 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.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
