How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Culverhouse Cross
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An original basin worth saving
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about sink repair in Culverhouse Cross
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are there extra charges for Culverhouse Cross?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Culverhouse Cross?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repair or replace in Culverhouse Cross?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
