Your questions about sink repair in Woodstone Village
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
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.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Related advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sunderland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
How to look after the repair
To keep it looking its best:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
