Crosshouse: your questions answered

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What affects the price in Crosshouse

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crosshouse. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Landlord and trade work in Crosshouse

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Crosshouse

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Surfaces we repair

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