The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Colour-matched on site
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Ireby: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Ireby?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your LA6 postcode.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ireby as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What affects the price in Ireby
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Ireby. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
