Sink repair in Blackfell without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gateshead.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What affects the price in Blackfell
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Blackfell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repairing versus replacing in Blackfell
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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
