Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
Towton: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Towton and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Do you need sink repair in Towton?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before you book
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
