Sink repair in Aldbrough without replacing anything

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and a chipped vanity basin.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Aldbrough

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Aldbrough, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

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

Common problems we fix in Aldbrough

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A chipped basin edge
  • A crack near the taps

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to look after the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Aldbrough

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
