Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.

- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Landlord and trade work in Gateshead Fell
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
