Fir Tree: your questions answered
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Fir Tree?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Fir Tree and the rest of County Durham. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fir Tree use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Common problems we fix in Fir Tree
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Aftercare advice
- How soon you can use it again
What affects the price in Fir Tree
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fir Tree. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A picture taken from further back
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
What you get with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Rooms protected and left tidy
Read our pricing.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
