  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Leeds. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Leeds, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Questions from Leeds

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How much does sink repair cost in Leeds?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your ME17 postcode.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Looking after it afterwards

To keep it looking its best:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
