Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Questions from Cross Gates
Do you cover the entire of Leeds?
Everywhere in the UK, Cross Gates included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
For a price in Cross Gates, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Do you need sink repair in Cross Gates?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
People normally call us when they notice something like this:
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
Repairing versus replacing in Cross Gates
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
