What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Causey. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Causey: your questions answered
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover Causey?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Causey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What we do, step by step
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
