Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
FAQs for Stanhope
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you cover the whole of County Durham?
We cover the whole UK, including Stanhope and the rest of County Durham. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Stanhope. The price comes down to:
- The material
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
What we do, step by step
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing 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.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
