Sink repair across Middlesbrough: what to expect

We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about a chipped basin edge and a crazed, tired basin.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What we’re called out for in Middlesbrough

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Repairing versus replacing

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route.

Common questions in Middlesbrough

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
