When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

How much does sink repair cost in Doddington?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Doddington.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you cover the entire of Northumberland?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What else we do in Doddington
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Doddington, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
