What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Headingley

Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips around the rim
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about sink repair in Headingley

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Headingley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
