Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
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.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Kelloe: your questions answered
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Kelloe?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kelloe and the rest of County Durham. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Keeping it looking good
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
