Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Blackhall Mill. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Questions from Blackhall Mill
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE17 postcode.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover Blackhall Mill?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blackhall Mill and the rest of Gateshead. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Blackhall Mill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us

- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

- Belfast and butler sinks
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
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.
