What else we do in Scawthorpe
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Everything repaired in place

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Questions from Scawthorpe
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What areas do you cover?
All of Doncaster, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Signs you need sink repair in Scawthorpe
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
