Sink & basin repair in Hart, County Durham
Damaged basin in Hart? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and guarantee the work for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- A chipped vanity basin
- Crazing in the glaze
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Sink repair in Hart, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

The process
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Common questions in Hart
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. 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.
Why us?
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Work done at your home or business
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- One price list for the entire UK

What else we do in Hart
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Hart, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hart as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Hart. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
