Sink repair in Strensall, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crazed, tired basin and an antique basin with chips.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Strensall and across York.

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.
