Repairing versus replacing in Hessle
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Hessle get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt is not 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.
