Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
About our sink repair in Stockton-on-Tees
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Should you replace it?

There are no surprise 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.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Stockton-on-Tees. The price reflects:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
If you are in Stockton-on-Tees and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Stockton-on-Tees questions
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does sink repair cost in Stockton-on-Tees?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How do I book?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
