How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Crosscanonby questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Signs you need sink repair in Crosscanonby
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- A crack near the taps
Before you book anyone
- What happens if they find more damage
- How the room is protected while they work
- What prep work is covered
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
