Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

South Kilvington questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Do you work in South Kilvington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to South Kilvington and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the whole of North Yorkshire?
We cover the whole UK, including South Kilvington and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Landlord and trade work in South Kilvington
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
For anyone letting property in or around South Kilvington, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Related advice
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
