Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to High Newton-by-the-Sea. The price comes down to:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs

Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- One picture of the whole basin
For a price in High Newton-by-the-Sea, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Common problems we fix in High Newton-by-the-Sea
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Look out for any of the following:
- A crack near the taps
- An original basin worth saving
- Chips around the rim
- A crazed, tired basin
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How your room will be protected
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is typically best. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
