About our sink repair in Butteryhaugh

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped vanity basin and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northumberland.

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. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

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.

FAQs for Butteryhaugh

Do you cover Butteryhaugh?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Butteryhaugh and the rest of Northumberland. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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