Sink & basin repair in Lawrence Hill, Newport
Problem with your basin in Lawrence Hill? We repair it in place, mix the colour on the day and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- A crack near the taps
- A crazed, tired basin
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair in Lawrence Hill without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and an antique basin with chips.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lawrence Hill and across Newport.

Advice
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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
What affects the price in Lawrence Hill
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lawrence Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Lawrence Hill, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
When we’d advise against a repair
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
