Sink repair at your home in Hawkswick

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Hawkswick and across North Yorkshire.

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Hawkswick

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Questions from Hawkswick

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, so Hawkswick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. 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

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
