Sink repair near Fridaythorpe

Sink repair in Fridaythorpe, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

What affects the price in Fridaythorpe

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Fridaythorpe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Fridaythorpe?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
