Sink repair for Cross Green homes

About our sink repair in Cross Green

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and chips on the rim or front edge.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cross Green as everywhere else we work.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

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

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Cross Green questions

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
