Sink repair in Hawksworth, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Hawksworth
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you cover the whole of Leeds?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Leeds and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hawksworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LS20 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Hawksworth
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before you book anyone
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- Whether they match the colour on site
- How long it needs to cure
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
