Sink Repair in York

Sink repair across York: what to expect

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix cracks starting at the waste and a period basin that needs restoring, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected

How to look after the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlord and trade work in York

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common questions in York

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What information do you need?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do you cover York?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to York. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
