We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Widespread crazing

How we handle sink repair in Aislaby

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can

Your questions about sink repair in Aislaby

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Repair or replace in Aislaby?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
  • Work done at your home or business
