How it works
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common questions in Midgley
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Midgley and the rest of Wakefield. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What we are called out for in Midgley
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long it needs to cure
- Aftercare advice
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Landlord and trade work in Midgley
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
