Sink & basin repair in Dudley, Northumberland
Sink repair across Dudley and nearby, typically in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Dudley
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
