About our sink repair in Crown

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring, we can generally put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Crown: your questions answered

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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 polish the repair to suit.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common problems we fix in Crown

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Cracks starting at the waste

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Crown, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
