Gold Tops questions
Is it worth repairing rather 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.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newport.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
What we’re called out for in Gold Tops
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job without visiting.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gold Tops use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
