Sink repair in Copmanthorpe, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Copmanthorpe
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Copmanthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
