Sink repair in Burradon, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Whether it’s an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, we can typically put it right, on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins alike.

What else we do in Burradon
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in North Tyneside and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in Burradon
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- An antique basin with chips
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- What prep work is covered
- Whether a trained technician does the job
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- 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
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Repair or replace in Burradon?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
