Sink repair near Brunswick Village

Sink repair in Brunswick Village without replacing anything

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most frequently call us about an antique basin with chips and cracks around the tap holes or waste.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How to care for the repair

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Do you need sink repair in Brunswick Village?

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze

Choosing a repair company

Brunswick Village: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Brunswick Village.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you cover Brunswick Village?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Brunswick Village and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
