Common call-outs are for cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin, across antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Little Ouseburn. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your YO26 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How it works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
