About our sink repair in Ravensworth

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re frequently asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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 photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Yorkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Ravensworth questions

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Ravensworth?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DL11 postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
