Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When to call us in Mappleton
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips around the rim

Mappleton questions
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Mappleton and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Mappleton. What changes the price is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send photos for a quote
Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
