Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Landlord and trade work in Riddlesden
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Bradford and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An antique basin with chips

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Riddlesden questions
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
