Sink repair in Fangfoss without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin, in vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

What we are called out for in Fangfoss
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for any of the following:
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Fangfoss
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Riding of Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
FAQs for Fangfoss
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fangfoss.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you cover the whole of East Riding of Yorkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including Fangfoss and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fangfoss. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.
Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
