FAQs for Winksley
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.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
All of North Yorkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlord and trade work in Winksley
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
