Sink repair at your home in Hawes
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and crazing in the glaze, we can usually put it right, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Landlord and trade work in Hawes
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawes use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- 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
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
Most clients in Hawes get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Hawes: your questions answered
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you work in Hawes?
We do. Technicians travel to Hawes from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Signs you need sink repair in Hawes
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips around the rim
What your quote should include
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What aftercare is recommended
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When we would advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
