About our sink repair in Great Givendale
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and chips on the rim or front edge.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

FAQs for Great Givendale
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Great Givendale included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, 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.
