North Hylton questions
Do you work in North Hylton?
We do. Repair technicians travel to North Hylton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Signs you need sink repair in North Hylton
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
People usually call us when they notice one of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who will actually do the work
- How to look after the finish
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- We leave the room as we found it
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A fixed quote before you book
See our prices page.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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.
