We travel to Arkendale 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
- Chips around the rim
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arkendale use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Sink repair at your home in Arkendale
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are often asked to fix chips around the rim and an original basin worth saving, in vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What else we do in Arkendale
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Arkendale. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.
Signs you need sink repair in Arkendale
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before booking anyone
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Arkendale: your questions answered
Do you work in Arkendale?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Arkendale from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you cover the entire of North Yorkshire?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Arkendale. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, 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.
