Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy 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.
What affects the price in Cross End
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Cross End. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
If you are in Cross End and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 typically the cheaper route.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common questions in Cross End
How much does sink repair cost in Cross End?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Are there extra charges for Cross End?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Cross End?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Cross End. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
