Sink repair at your home in Newcastle upon Tyne

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the damage happens

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
