How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
FAQs for Rufforth
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of York. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Rufforth. The price depends on:

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
