Need sink repair in Cross?

Cross: your questions answered

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you cover Cross?

We do. Technicians travel to Cross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

How much does sink repair cost in Cross?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Sink repair at your home in Cross

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and an antique basin with chips.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Do you need sink repair in Cross?

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A chipped basin edge

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
