Sink repair in Yarrowford without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped basin edge, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- One price list for the entire UK
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- Fixed prices from your pictures
Read our prices page.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Yarrowford: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Yarrowford
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Most clients in Yarrowford get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
