Sink repair at your home in Gunnerside

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

Aftercare tips

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Gunnerside

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Do you work in Gunnerside?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Gunnerside and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gunnerside use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
