Sink Repair for Yanwath homes
Our technicians come to Yanwath for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair in Yanwath without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks starting at the waste.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yanwath
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
