Landlord and trade work in Ellerby
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Signs you need sink repair in Ellerby
Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One-year guarantee on every repair

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Ellerby, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
