In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
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 price, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Crossgates
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Customers typically contact us about:
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
- A chipped basin edge

Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin often 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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Same prices wherever you are
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- We leave the room as we found it
- Fixed prices from your pictures

For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
