Your questions about sink repair in Scarborough
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Scarborough
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

What affects the price in Scarborough
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Scarborough. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole basin
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

When to call us in Scarborough
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A crack near the taps
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- An original basin worth saving
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What preparation is included
- Who will actually do the work
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
