What a repair cannot fix

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Austhorpe
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Other services in Austhorpe
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Work done at your home or business
- One visit for most repairs
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Your questions about sink repair in Austhorpe
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of Leeds?
Everywhere in the UK, Austhorpe included. Travel is included in the price.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How much does sink repair cost in Austhorpe?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
