Sink Repair in High Cross Bank
Problem with your basin in High Cross Bank? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair in High Cross Bank, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
