DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
How we handle sink repair in Cross
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, in ceramic, composite and enamel. There is no plumbing to disconnect. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a chipped basin edge, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Cross
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Cross. The price comes down to:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Cross get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
