Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Sink repair at your home in Cleasby
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and crazing in the glaze.

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common problems we fix in Cleasby
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions from Cleasby
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How much does sink repair cost in Cleasby?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Darlington and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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 and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Cleasby. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
