Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Ferry Fryston, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95

How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. 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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What affects the price in Ferry Fryston
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ferry Fryston. What changes the price is:
