Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How we handle sink repair in Cold Newton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, across Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Access to the area
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
Your questions about sink repair in Cold Newton
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LE7 postcode.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What a repair can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
When to call us in Cold Newton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
- Crazing in the glaze
Before you book anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed price.

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
