Before and after: a chip on the front of a bathroom basin repaired

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Ellerker

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

FAQs for Ellerker

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Ellerker included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover Ellerker?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Ellerker for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
