Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use mild cleaners only
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Sink repair in Ushaw Moor, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What affects the price in Ushaw Moor
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
