Different materials, different repairs
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.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair at your home in Cropton
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and knocks from hair straighteners.

Landlord and trade work in Cropton
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Cropton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- What aftercare is recommended

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise 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 photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Your questions about sink repair in Cropton
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Cropton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Repair or replace in Cropton?

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
