Sink repair at your home in Yawl
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze, we can help.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Yawl. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Yawl: your questions answered
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Yawl. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Landlord and trade work in Yawl
Hospitality businesses cannot 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.
Letting agents often send us photos 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.
