FAQs for Sunderland Bridge
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What affects the price in Sunderland Bridge
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Sunderland Bridge
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sunderland Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

When a repair isn’t the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins

What else we do in Sunderland Bridge
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. 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. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
