Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins at your home in Ingleborough, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Repairs from £95

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Sink repair in Ingleborough, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin, on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Do you need sink repair in Ingleborough?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips on a built-in basin
Before you book anyone
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
