How we handle sink repair in South Dalton

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access

South Dalton: your questions answered

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Are there extra charges for South Dalton?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the entire of East Riding of Yorkshire?

All of East Riding of Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

What affects the price in South Dalton

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Natural light rather than flash

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

When to call us in South Dalton

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
