Your questions about sink repair in Outwood
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What affects the price in Outwood
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
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 to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Repair or replace in Outwood?

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Ask for a price
For a price in Outwood, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Related advice
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
