Sink repair at your home in Blanchland
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Blanchland and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What we’re called out for in Blanchland
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Common questions in Blanchland
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you cover Blanchland?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Blanchland and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What affects the price in Blanchland
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
