What affects the price in Walworth Gate
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Walworth Gate. The price reflects:
- What kind of damage it is
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Ask for a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DL2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Walworth Gate
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Why us?
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- No need to remove anything
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
Take a look at our pricing.
Work for landlords and builders
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.
If you manage property in Walworth Gate, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When to call us in Walworth Gate
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Look out for any of the following:
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips around the rim
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit

Your questions about sink repair in Walworth Gate
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover the entire of Darlington?
We cover the entire UK, including Walworth Gate and the rest of Darlington. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
