About our sink repair in Nidd

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

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

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Landlord and trade work in Nidd

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
