What affects the price in Byermoor
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For a price in Byermoor, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Repairing versus replacing in Byermoor
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Byermoor. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- We leave the room as we found it

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
