How we handle sink repair in Ainthorpe
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What affects the price in Ainthorpe
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ainthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
