About our sink repair in Croxdale
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an original basin worth saving and chips from dropped toiletries.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Croxdale and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What affects the price in Croxdale
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Croxdale. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Croxdale questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Do you come to Croxdale?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Croxdale. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
