About our sink repair in Kielder
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and a period basin that needs restoring.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kielder as everywhere else we work.

The process
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Repairing versus replacing in Kielder
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Kielder questions
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
