Sink repair in Prudhoe

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Prudhoe

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northumberland and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Aftercare tips

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Prudhoe

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Antique & period basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
