FAQs for York
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Do you work in York?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to York from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Landlords, agents and businesses in York
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How to care for the repair
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
