How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Spittal. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Go 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Questions from Spittal
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
We cover the whole UK, including Spittal and the rest of Northumberland. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Spittal.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Signs you need sink repair in Spittal
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- Chips on a built-in basin
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What preparation is included
- Who turns up on the day
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price

DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
