DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair at your home in Sproatley
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. If you’re dealing with crazing in the glaze and a period basin that needs restoring, we can help, whatever the material.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire.

How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Advice

Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
