How we handle sink repair in Crossgill
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
If you are in Crossgill and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Crossgill questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
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.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

What else we do in Crossgill
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Common problems we fix in Crossgill
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Crossgill
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
