What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit

Your questions about sink repair in Gilstead
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
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 Gilstead
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BD16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Do you need sink repair in Gilstead?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Look out for these signs:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
