Questions from Gowthorpe
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How we handle sink repair in Gowthorpe
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone.

When to call us in Gowthorpe
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips around the rim
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Crazing in the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if they find more damage
- Aftercare advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Repair or replace in Gowthorpe?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, 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.
