Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Crossford

A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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