Sink repair at your home in Frosterley
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for chips on the rim or front edge and chips on a built-in basin, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Frosterley
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Frosterley
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything
- One visit for most repairs

What affects the price in Frosterley
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Frosterley. The price comes down to:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When to call us in Frosterley
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
- A crack near the taps
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- How to care for the finish
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Frosterley questions
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
