Your questions about sink repair in East Boldon
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, and that includes East Boldon. Prices don’t change with location.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
About our sink repair in East Boldon
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and chips on a built-in basin, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits

- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What else we do in East Boldon
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including East Boldon. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
What we are called out for in East Boldon
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Chips around the rim
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Tyneside and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Repairing versus replacing in East Boldon
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- No extra charge for your area
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- We leave the room as we found it
Read our prices page.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
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.
