Sink repair at your home in Painsthorpe
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is generally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on a built-in basin, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Painsthorpe
For anyone letting property in or around Painsthorpe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is 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 pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Painsthorpe
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Painsthorpe questions
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
