How we handle sink repair in Cruxton

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

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.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Materials we repair

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

How to care for the repair

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlord and trade work in Cruxton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cruxton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
