Ferryhill Station: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you cover Ferryhill Station?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Ferryhill Station. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace in Ferryhill Station?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ferryhill Station. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole basin
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos 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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
