Repairing versus replacing in Dunston
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Dunston
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
Do you need sink repair in Dunston?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about sink repair in Dunston
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Dunston?

Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. 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.
