How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Signs you need sink repair in Birkby
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Questions from Birkby
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Birkby
For anyone letting property in or around Birkby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
