How we handle sink repair in Heworth
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and a crazed, tired basin, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Landlord and trade work in Heworth
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- A photo taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Heworth
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across York.
Do you cover Heworth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Heworth and the rest of York. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Heworth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
