Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What happens on the day
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’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Your questions about sink repair in Minskip
What areas do you cover?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Signs you need sink repair in Minskip
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries

- Crazing in the glaze
What your quote should include
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Minskip. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
