Questions from North Gosforth
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in North Gosforth.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you cover North Gosforth?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to North Gosforth. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Why repair rather than replace?

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for North Gosforth. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What else we do in North Gosforth
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
