Sink repair in Newcastle, done in place

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving, we can typically put it right.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

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.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newcastle. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Newcastle and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newcastle

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For anyone letting property in or around Newcastle, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Common problems we fix in Newcastle

Fine crazing in the glaze is generally down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

Looking after it afterwards

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
