Sink repair in Darlington without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Darlington
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Send photos for a quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Darlington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Darlington questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
