Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair in Darton without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and an original basin worth saving, in enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking.

Questions from Darton
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Barnsley.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace in Darton?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
