What affects the price in High Dyke
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Sink repair at your home in High Dyke
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and chips around the rim.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in High Dyke as everywhere else we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When to call us in High Dyke
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped vanity basin
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
When we’d advise against a repair
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
Should you replace it?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why us?
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about sink repair in High Dyke
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do you work in High Dyke?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to High Dyke from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

How it works
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the damage
