DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

FAQs for Cawood
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are there extra charges for Cawood?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
