When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Ryton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice
Common questions in Great Ryton
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working.
How quickly can you book me in?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you do work for letting agents?

What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
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.
What affects the price in Great Ryton
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs 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 there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SY5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace in Great Ryton?
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. Our sink repair starts from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
