How we handle sink repair in East Barnby
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a period basin that needs restoring and chips on a built-in basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around East Barnby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
East Barnby: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Are there extra charges for East Barnby?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you cover East Barnby?
We do. We send a technician to East Barnby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What we’re called out for in East Barnby
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How soon you can use it again
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
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.
