We are frequently asked to fix a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, in enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in Taylor Hill
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Taylor Hill. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Taylor Hill, and we will reply with a fixed price.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It typically takes 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.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Taylor Hill questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Taylor Hill?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kirklees, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
