Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in White Cross

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in White Cross, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

White Cross: your questions answered

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Do you come to White Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to White Cross. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
