Sink Repair in Sowood
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Sowood, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What else we do in Sowood
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Same prices wherever you are
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- We leave the room as we found it
See our pricing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins

Your questions about sink repair in Sowood
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Calderdale, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sowood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we’re called out for in Sowood
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
