The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in Low Hutton

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Common questions in Low Hutton

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Low Hutton?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your YO60 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
