Repairing versus replacing in The Lee
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Lee. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our sink repair in The Lee
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge, in antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
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. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know about parking or access

Advice
Questions from The Lee
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.
Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?
We cover the whole UK, including The Lee and the rest of Northumberland. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
