About our sink repair in Hemingbrough
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

When a repair is not the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Most clients in Hemingbrough get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
