What we’re called out for in Allerthorpe
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Common reasons people in Allerthorpe contact us include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of Saint Botolph, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

What else we do in Allerthorpe
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up. Somewhere as small as Allerthorpe, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once we’re there, the sink repair works exactly as anywhere else.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
