Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

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.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

About our sink repair in Cross

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Cross

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about sink repair in Cross

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Cross included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Somerset.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
