Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Sink repair in Middleton without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Middleton and across Hartlepool.

Middleton: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
What affects the price in Middleton
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Middleton, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Should you replace it?
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re 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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
