How we handle sink repair in Newcastle Great Park
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you’re dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to care for the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Questions from Newcastle Great Park
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I need to be at home?

Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
