Tudhoe questions
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Do you cover the entire of County Durham?
Everywhere in the UK, Tudhoe included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Sink repair in Tudhoe, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

What we are called out for in Tudhoe
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Look out for these signs:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
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.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tudhoe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tudhoe as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
