How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace: which is better?

Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Willerby questions

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Landlord and trade work in Willerby

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Choosing a repair company

Keeping it looking good

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
