Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Crowell. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crowell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Crowell, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common questions in Crowell

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
