We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we are called out for in Mickleby

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips around the rim

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Mickleby?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Read our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Mickleby

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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 photos.

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.

Mickleby: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

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

Do you cover the whole of Redcar and Cleveland?

The entire UK, including all of Redcar and Cleveland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Mickleby?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What affects the price in Mickleby

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

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 reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
