About our sink repair in Tilery
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix a period basin that needs restoring and chips around the rim, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Questions from Tilery
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
How do I book?

Where we work around Tilery
Tilery is about 1 mile east of Stockton-on-Tees, in Middlesbrough. From the centre of Tilery to the outlying streets, we offer exactly the same service: a fixed price, a tidy visit and a guarantee. Tilery is one of 33 towns and villages in Middlesbrough where we work. We work right across the region, from Tilery to Newcastle upon Tyne (about 32 miles away).
Our visits in TS18, TS19 and TS20 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Streets in the area include Bath Lane, Ross Road and The Square, all of which we cover. Tilery is on the A139, which makes it straightforward to reach. We also travel to Portrack (1 mile south-east), Mount Pleasant (1 mile north), Newtown (1 mile west), Stockton-on-Tees (1 mile west) and Norton (1 mile north). Larger places within reach include Middlesbrough (4 miles south-east), Park End (5 miles east), Berwick Hills (4 miles east), Whale Hill (7 miles east), Normanby (6 miles east) and Brookfield (4 miles south-east).

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilery
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
