Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Plumbing leaks

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Aftercare tips

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Do you need sink repair in Metham?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Look out for these signs:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Metham: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Metham and the rest of East Riding of Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
