Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Fair Cross clients choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK

Choosing a repair company

Different materials, different repairs

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. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Fair Cross

How much does sink repair cost in Fair Cross?

Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Fair Cross. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
