About our sink repair in Aycliffe Village
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with damage to a basin in a vanity unit and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Aycliffe Village as everywhere else we work.

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What affects the price in Aycliffe Village
Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
