What else we do in Consett
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Why Consett customers choose us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- No extra charge for your area
- Most jobs done in one visit

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Questions from Consett
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
