Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Get chips repaired early
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Bedlington. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Bedlington: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
