Sink & basin repair in Lobley Hill, Newcastle upon Tyne
Our repair technicians come to Lobley Hill for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
