Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- A chipped vanity basin
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repairing versus replacing in Affetside
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Your questions about sink repair in Affetside
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How soon can you come?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Affetside for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Landlord and trade work in Affetside
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
