Common questions in Crownthorpe
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Crownthorpe included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
How we handle sink repair in Crownthorpe
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for cracks starting at the waste and an original basin worth saving, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

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

Repairs by material
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Other services in Crownthorpe
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Crownthorpe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
