Common questions in Norham
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Norham?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Places near Norham
What else we do in Norham
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Advice
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Norham. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Norham use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
