DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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 normally cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Walbottle
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walbottle use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Common questions in Walbottle
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Newcastle upon Tyne. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you cover Walbottle?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Walbottle. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
When we would advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Walbottle
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

How the visit works
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What affects the price in Walbottle
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
