Steppingley: your questions answered
How do I get a price for sink repair in Steppingley?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Steppingley
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
