Sink repair in Bugthorpe, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We are often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

When a repair isn’t the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Bugthorpe questions
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Bugthorpe. Prices do not change with location.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Bugthorpe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
