About our sink repair in Wheldrake
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. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and cracks starting at the waste, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Wheldrake: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of York. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
