Sink repair at your home in Dishforth
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge, in vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Dishforth. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Dishforth: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Dishforth
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One-year guarantee on every repair
