Sink Repair for Hawnby homes
Sink repair across Hawnby and nearby, normally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
About our sink repair in Hawnby
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We regularly repair antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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 the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawnby as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What affects the price in Hawnby
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
