Sink repair in Yorkley, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and an antique basin with chips, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Yorkley, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Yorkley questions
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Yorkley.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Common problems we fix in Yorkley
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- A chipped basin edge
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Who turns up on the day
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
