Landlord and trade work in Christon Bank
If you manage property in Christon Bank, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
