How we handle sink repair in Oswaldkirk
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What we are called out for in Oswaldkirk
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- A chipped vanity basin

- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the colour is matched
- Aftercare advice
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
How to care for the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice
Repairing versus replacing in Oswaldkirk
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you cover Oswaldkirk?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Oswaldkirk for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
