Sink repair in Staithes without replacing anything
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know about parking or access

What else we do in Staithes
Landlord and trade work in Staithes

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When to call us in Staithes
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

What affects the price in Staithes
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
