Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

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

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace in South Ossett?

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
