How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
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.
Common problems we fix in Huby
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Common reasons people in Huby contact us are:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day

- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Advice
Huby: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Leeds.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Huby?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Huby and the rest of Leeds. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Leeds, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
What affects the price in Huby
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Huby. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Huby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
