Sink repair at your home in Wallsend
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Wallsend: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Ensure the area is dry
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Wallsend. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
