Sink repair for Scarborough homes

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Scarborough. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Plumbing leaks

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

Materials we work on in Scarborough

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins

Looking after it afterwards

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Common questions in Scarborough

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
