DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we handle sink repair in Falstone
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a chipped vanity basin and chips around the rim.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Our work in Falstone
Falstone is about 22 miles south-east of Hawick, in Northumberland. Our technicians come to homes and businesses in Falstone, so there is no workshop to go to. Our technicians cover all 189 towns and villages in Northumberland, from the larger towns to small villages. We work right across the region, from Falstone to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 34 miles away).
Postcode districts we cover here: NE48. From North Haul Road, Braeside and Hawkhope Hill or a nearby road, a technician can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Butteryhaugh (6 miles north-west), Kielder (7 miles north-west), Bellingham (8 miles east), Wark (11 miles south-east) and Simonburn (13 miles south-east).
Around Falstone
Typical jobs here are in homes near United Reformed Church and Blackcock Inn. Nearby you will also find Dally Castle (3.9 miles south-east).
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Common problems we fix in Falstone
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crazed, tired basin

Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Falstone. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
If you are in Falstone and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
