Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Widespread crazing

Questions from East Ayton
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
