How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Landlord and trade work in Crossbank
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice
Questions from Crossbank
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
