Aycliffe: your questions answered
Do you cover Aycliffe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Aycliffe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we are called out for in Aycliffe
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
