How we handle sink repair in Acklington
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
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 affects the price in Acklington
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Acklington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- One price list for the whole UK
- We leave the room as we found it
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Questions from Acklington
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
