How sink repair works in South Tyneside
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Cost
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited
- No extra charge for your area

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
What we’re called out for in South Tyneside
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crack near the taps
- A chipped vanity basin
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
