About our sink repair in Elwick
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin, we can help, on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins alike.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Questions from Elwick
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We work UK-wide, so Elwick is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Elwick?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
