Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit.

- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Questions from South Charlton
Which areas do you work in?
The entire UK, including all of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
How do I get a price for sink repair in South Charlton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
