Sink repair at your home in Long Riston
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Long Riston: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you work in Long Riston?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Long Riston and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What we’re called out for in Long Riston
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How your room will be protected
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Widespread crazing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
