Sink Repair for Ampleforth homes
Our repair technicians come to Ampleforth for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ampleforth as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Sink repair in Ampleforth without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back.

What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
