Lye Cross: your questions answered
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Lye Cross. Prices do not change with location.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Are there extra charges for Lye Cross?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
