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. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Craster. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our sink repair in Craster
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and crazing in the glaze.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Craster and across Northumberland.

Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Craster. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE66 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
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.
