We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Whether it’s a chipped basin edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

Questions from Gipton
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LS9 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any details about the material
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
When to call us in Gipton
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How changes to the job are handled
- How long it needs to cure
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Gipton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gipton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
