How it works
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.

- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.

How to prepare

Ask for a price

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When to call us in Newbiggin
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Newbiggin questions
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Newbiggin?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DH7 postcode.
Do you work in Newbiggin?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Newbiggin and the rest of County Durham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across County Durham.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Newbiggin
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What your basin is made of matters
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newbiggin. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
