Sink repair at your home in Featherstone
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Featherstone. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Common questions in Featherstone
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How much does sink repair cost in Featherstone?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NE49 postcode.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Do you need sink repair in Featherstone?
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
