Coronation is about 1 mile south-east of Bishop Auckland, in County Durham. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so there’s no waiting around. Coronation is one of 329 towns and villages in County Durham we cover. We work right across the region, from Coronation to Newcastle upon Tyne (24 miles away).

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Coronation. The price reflects:
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Coronation, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Coronation. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Open a window if you can
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Coronation
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Landlord and trade work in Coronation
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Signs you need sink repair in Coronation
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
Before you book anyone
- What preparation is included
- How your room will be protected
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How long it needs to cure
How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
