10 questions to ask before booking

Sink repair in Oughtershaw, done in place

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and chips from dropped toiletries.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Questions from Oughtershaw

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we will tell you.

Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?

We work UK-wide, so Oughtershaw is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace in Oughtershaw?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add 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.

Landlord and trade work in Oughtershaw

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
