Sink & basin repair in Kexby, East Riding of Yorkshire
Damaged basin in Kexby? We put it right where it is, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. In a village or hamlet like Kexby, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive

Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

What affects the price in Kexby
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. In an older home in a village like Kexby, replacing a basin can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
