Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions about sink repair in Thornton le Moor
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LN7 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The material
A few things move the price: 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.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
