Sink repair at your home in King's Newton
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
King's Newton: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
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.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What else we do in King's Newton
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Common problems we fix in King's Newton
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Crazing in the glaze
- A crack near the taps
Before booking anyone
- What aftercare is recommended
- How soon you can use it again
- Who turns up on the day
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the price in King's Newton
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including King's Newton. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
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.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DE73 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
