Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to York Town. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it

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’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When to call us in York Town

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Chips around the rim

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in York Town

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repair or replace in York Town?

Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
