Sink repair near Crosspool

Sink repair in Crosspool without replacing anything

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What we are called out for in Crosspool

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A chipped basin edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A chipped vanity basin

Questions from Crosspool

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crosspool

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Related advice

Looking after it afterwards

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
