How we handle sink repair in Little Smeaton
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are frequently asked to fix chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Little Smeaton
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Signs you need sink repair in Little Smeaton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Little Smeaton, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Little Smeaton: your questions answered
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Wakefield.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Wakefield, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
