DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Should you replace it?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it
- No extra charge for your area

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Common problems we fix in Askham Bryan
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- What protection goes down before work starts
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Askham Bryan, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
