When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Holbeck?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Colour mixed on the day to match

Holbeck: your questions answered
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Aftercare tips
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
