Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Deaf Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why us?
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Deaf Hill questions
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Deaf Hill?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Deaf Hill. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Deaf Hill included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
