Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Crosbost, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in Crosbost

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?

Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crosbost.

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
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. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
