How we handle sink repair in York
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a chipped vanity basin and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlords, agents and businesses in York
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in York as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Different materials, different repairs
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.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What affects the price in York
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to York. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for York. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
