FAQs for Red House Farm
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you come to Red House Farm?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Red House Farm and the rest of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.

- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Red House Farm. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use gentle cleaners
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
