Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Littlethorpe

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

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

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.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Questions from Littlethorpe

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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 come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in Littlethorpe

  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
