It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can typically put it right.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How to care for the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Questions from Cross Green

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you cover Cross Green?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Cross Green from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What affects the price in Cross Green

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Cross Green, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Signs you need sink repair in Cross Green

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks starting at the waste
