Sink repair in Primrose, done in place
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 antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and an original basin worth saving.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Your questions about sink repair in Primrose
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Advice
What affects the price in Primrose
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your NE32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What else we do in Primrose
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Primrose, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Repairing versus replacing in Primrose
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Colour-matched on site

When to call us in Primrose
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A chipped basin edge
What your quote should include
- What prep work is covered
- Who turns up on the day
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Get chips repaired early
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
