Our sink repair service in Hartlepool
If the entire basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have.

- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the price covers travel
Signs you need sink repair
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, along with damage during fitting.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. 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, with colour mixed on site.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Questions from Hartlepool
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
