How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Questions from Bainton
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?
All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Repairing versus replacing in Bainton
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- We leave the room as we found it
- Generally one visit, start to finish

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When to call us in Bainton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Bainton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Make sure the area is dry
