Sink repair at your home in Cross Houses
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and a crazed, tired basin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
Repair or replace in Cross Houses?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What we do, step by step
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 few hours.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
Most clients in Cross Houses get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Cross Houses
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, 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’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Signs you need sink repair in Cross Houses
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
