Sink repair in Otterburn, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a chipped basin edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What else we do in Otterburn
Your questions about sink repair in Otterburn
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Landlord and trade work in Otterburn
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
