Questions from North Howden
Which areas do you work in?
All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Signs you need sink repair in North Howden
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things customers normally mention when they call include:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after 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.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
