Sink repair at your home in Crossways
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why us?
- A fixed quote before you book
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Other services in Crossways
Crossways: your questions answered
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What affects the price in Crossways
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- 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 before booking.
