Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How we handle sink repair in Haydon Bridge

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Haydon Bridge

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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.

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your NE47 postcode.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What affects the price in Haydon Bridge

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Haydon Bridge. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Haydon Bridge, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
