How we handle sink repair in Flaxby
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about an original basin worth saving and a crack near the taps.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Flaxby questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Flaxby is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HG5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Flaxby
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Flaxby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
Repair or replace in Flaxby?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
