Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Sink repair in Old Ellerby without replacing anything
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and chips on the rim or front edge, we can normally put it right.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking.

What affects the price in Old Ellerby
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Repairs by material
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.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Repairing versus replacing in Old Ellerby
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
