About our sink repair in Cross Street

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix a chipped basin edge and a period basin that needs restoring, in Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Cross Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cross Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Colour-matched on site

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Common questions in Cross Street

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are there extra charges for Cross Street?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

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 cracked basin?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Cross Street. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to care for the repair

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Do not overtighten taps

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.
