How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the day after.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rawcliffe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins

FAQs for Rawcliffe

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Rawcliffe included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How do I book?

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Repair or replace in Rawcliffe?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Rawcliffe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
