How we handle sink repair in Greencroft
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 Greencroft. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- No extra charge for your area
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Greencroft
