DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Sink repair at your home in Potternewton
If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Common call-outs are for an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Leeds.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
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.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Potternewton questions
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Potternewton. Prices do not change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
