Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

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 get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

About our sink repair in Selside

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Selside: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across North Yorkshire.

How much does sink repair cost in Selside?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your BD24 postcode.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Selside, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
