About our sink repair in Todhills
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about knocks from hair straighteners and chips on the rim or front edge.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Repair or replace in Todhills?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Free fixed quotes from pictures

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Todhills use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in County Durham and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Questions from Todhills
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across County Durham.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
When a repair is not the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Todhills, and we will reply with a fixed price.
