Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Sink repair at your home in Hartwith

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Before and after: an old basin refinished to bright white

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

10 questions to ask before you book

Your questions about sink repair in Hartwith

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Which areas do you work in?

All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hartwith

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach

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.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your HG3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
