Common questions in Scotswood
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are there extra charges for Scotswood?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Sink repair at your home in Scotswood
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and an antique basin with chips.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Scotswood
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole basin
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NE15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Repairing versus replacing in Scotswood
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- A fixed quote before booking
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

What else we do in Scotswood
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
Advice
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Use mild cleaners only
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
