Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. For a rural home like those around Mid Yell, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while sink repair is one trip.
Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How we handle sink repair in Mid Yell
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are an antique basin with chips and fine cracks across the glaze.
Somewhere like Mid Yell, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We repair around makers’ marks where we can.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
We also work for schools, leisure centres and businesses, so if you care for a building such as Mid Yell Junior High School, toilets and washrooms can be repaired in place too.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Mid Yell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Mid Yell use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
