About our sink repair in Coulby Newham
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s cracks starting at the waste and chips on a built-in basin, we can normally put it right.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

The process
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Coulby Newham: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Middlesbrough.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
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.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
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.
