Take a look at our pricing.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common questions in Thornaby-on-Tees
Are there extra charges for Thornaby-on-Tees?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Thornaby-on-Tees?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
