Work for landlords and builders

Sink repair in Evenwood Gate, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and chips around the rim.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in County Durham.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about sink repair in Evenwood Gate
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Evenwood Gate?
We do. We send a technician to Evenwood Gate for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
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 it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
