The process

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

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
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go 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.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it

Thornton-in-Craven: your questions answered
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
