About our sink repair in Dunston
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Dunston questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
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. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you cover Dunston?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Dunston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
What affects the price in Dunston
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dunston. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why book with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the entire UK
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
