Sink repair across Newport: what to expect

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are often asked to fix an original basin worth saving and fine cracks across the glaze, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

We protect the area around the basin.
We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
The colour is matched by hand.
We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

What it costs in Newport

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newport

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

Avoid abrasive pads
Get chips repaired early
Keep straighteners away from the basin
Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

What we are called out for in Newport

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
A crazed, tired basin
Cracks starting at the waste
Knocks from hair straighteners

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 won’t last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Newport: your questions answered

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover Newport?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Newport. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
