Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Pocklington: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pocklington
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
