Your questions about sink repair in Lightcliffe
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Lightcliffe and the rest of Calderdale. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Repairing versus replacing in Lightcliffe
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
