For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Gateshead and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price 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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Lintzford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
