DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in Blacktoft

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • An original basin worth saving

Comparing quotes

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

FAQs for Blacktoft

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Blacktoft?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Blacktoft and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Blacktoft

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • 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 you book.
