Haughton-le-Skerne questions
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
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.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Darlington. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Haughton-le-Skerne

For anyone letting property in or around Haughton-le-Skerne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Haughton-le-Skerne. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

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. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
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.
