What areas do you cover?

Can tenants book a repair?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newcastle upon Tyne.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Little Benton?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Sink repair in Little Benton, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include chips around the rim and a chipped vanity basin, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
