How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Great Ayton. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
Great Ayton questions
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features 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.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
