About our sink repair in John's Cross
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on a built-in basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
In a village like John's Cross, older cottages sometimes have period basins and toilets, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use. Somewhere like John's Cross needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
If you are in John's Cross and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. For a rural home like those around John's Cross, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
