DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Sink repair at your home in Corbridge
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s crazing in the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Your questions about sink repair in Corbridge
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you come to Corbridge?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Corbridge and the rest of Northumberland. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The material
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
