How we handle sink repair in Northallerton
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and chips from dropped toiletries, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
FAQs for Northallerton
Will you leave a mess?

Does someone need to be in?

What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Northallerton.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Repairing versus replacing in Northallerton
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
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 carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
