How we handle sink repair in Church Houses
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Church Houses

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Church Houses
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across North Yorkshire.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
