Sink repair at your home in Garth
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. Common call-outs are for a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
Around Garth, homes are mostly houses and bungalows, many with suites that have been in for years. A repair keeps a matching suite intact.

Garth: your questions answered
Can you restore the original basins in an older house in Garth?
Usually, yes. Older basins are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.
Do you work for schools and businesses in Garth?
Yes. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations and work for schools, leisure centres and businesses. Tell us about access and timings for the building.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newport.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you remove the sink?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Prices and what affects them

- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
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. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Repair or replace in Garth?
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. If your basin in Garth is sound, a repair is usually the better choice.
Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
