Questions from Bensham
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Newcastle upon Tyne, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Repairing versus replacing in Bensham
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Bensham. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
- One picture of the entire basin
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What else we do in Bensham
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
