Common questions in Dunnington
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What information do you need?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in York and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
What you get with us
- We leave the room as we found it
- Work done at your home or business
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
See our prices page.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Dunnington, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
