DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
FAQs for Crosspost
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Crosspost, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
