DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Cross Lanes
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- An original basin worth saving
- A chipped vanity basin

- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What affects the price in Cross Lanes
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cross Lanes. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The material
- How many areas need work
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Landlord and trade work in Cross Lanes
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross Lanes as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
Most clients in Cross Lanes get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
