What affects the price in Old Snydale
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Old Snydale: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Wakefield. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Repair or replace in Old Snydale?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Old Snydale

Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
