How we handle sink repair in Cross Inn
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive 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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
