Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ingerthorpe. The price reflects:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Common questions in Ingerthorpe
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across North Yorkshire.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Do you restore period basins?

Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
