Scarcroft: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
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.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Sink repair in Scarcroft, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Typical jobs include fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Scarcroft. What changes the price is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Common problems we fix in Scarcroft
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Common reasons people in Scarcroft contact us are:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
