Sink repair across Northumberland: what to expect

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a period basin that needs restoring and knocks from hair straighteners.

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Landmarks near Blyth

Typical jobs here are in homes near Church of Our Lady and St Wilfred, Bede Academy and Isabella pub. The closest station to Blyth is Newsham station, roughly 1.3 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Blyth Valley (under half a mile north) and Blyth Community Hospital (0.5 miles north-east).

Signs you need sink repair

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An original basin worth saving

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
