How the visit works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

More services for Peterlee
Do you need sink repair in Peterlee?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- Aftercare advice
- Whether they match the colour on site
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Plumbing leaks
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
