How we handle sink repair in Pelton
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. Whether it’s chips from dropped toiletries and a chipped vanity basin, we can typically put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Repairing versus replacing in Pelton
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we cannot put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Your questions about sink repair in Pelton
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
All of County Durham, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
