Sink repair at your home in South Stainley
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Questions from South Stainley
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the whole UK, including South Stainley and the rest of North Yorkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Landlord and trade work in South Stainley
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What affects the price in South Stainley
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to South Stainley. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
