Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- The material and finish
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Yarwell and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Honest limits
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Yarwell questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- 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.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need sink repair in Yarwell
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips on the rim or front edge
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Do not overtighten taps
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Yarwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Generally one visit, start to finish
