Repairing versus replacing in Oakwood
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

About our sink repair in Oakwood
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What a repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Plumbing leaks

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Landlord and trade work in Oakwood
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakwood use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
