Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How we handle sink repair in Crossroads
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and knocks from hair straighteners, we can normally put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Crossroads as everywhere else we work.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Crossroads
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crossroads as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Questions from Crossroads
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Crossroads. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
