Common questions in Washington Village
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Sunderland. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Are there extra charges for Washington Village?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Washington Village, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Why Washington Village clients choose us
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted

- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
