Common questions in Edderthorpe
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
How much does sink repair cost in Edderthorpe?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your S71 postcode.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Common problems we fix in Edderthorpe
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An original basin worth saving
- A crack near the taps
- Fine cracks across the glaze
