Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
No Place questions
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, No Place included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
How much does sink repair cost in No Place?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH9 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in No Place?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
