Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Sink repair in Crossgates without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and an antique basin with chips.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Repairing versus replacing in Crossgates
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crossgates. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us

Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
