How we handle sink repair in Bridge End
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

What happens on the day
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE46 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Bridge End questions
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bridge End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
