How we handle sink repair in Northease

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and knocks from hair straighteners.

Somewhere like Northease, an older basin can be hard to match if replaced. A repair keeps everything matching.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Northease as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Questions from Northease

Is it worth repairing old basins in a period home in Northease?

Typically: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send pictures and we’ll advise.

Do you come out to small places like Northease?

Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Do you cover Northease?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Northease for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it. Somewhere like Northease needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Common problems we fix in Northease

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Crazing in the glaze

If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as St Peter's Church, period sanitaryware is worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can.

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Northease

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Northease. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Northease. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Older homes around Northease may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.

Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

See our Pricing.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
