What’s near Aldingham

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LA12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
