Sink repair at your home in Everthorpe
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re frequently asked to fix an antique basin with chips and cracks starting at the waste, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. 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.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Everthorpe: your questions answered
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Everthorpe?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Everthorpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
