Selby questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Are there extra charges for Selby?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Sink repair at your home in Selby
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

What else we do in Selby
Repair or replace in Selby?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
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’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
When a repair is not the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Selby
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Selby
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
