About our sink repair in Northorpe
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and an original basin worth saving.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Northorpe. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What we’re called out for in Northorpe
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Look out for these signs:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Northorpe
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
