Coedkernew: your questions answered
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your NP10 postcode.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Do you cover the whole of Newport?
Everywhere in the UK, Coedkernew included. Travel is included in the price.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
Most customers in Coedkernew get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
