Sink repair in Cross Gate

How to look after the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

How we handle sink repair in Cross Gate

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with a chipped vanity basin and knocks from hair straighteners, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Signs you need sink repair in Cross Gate

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Cross Gate

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our full price list.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in West Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in Cross Gate

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
