Problem with your basin in Maindee? We repair it in place, match it on site and back it with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Sink repair in Maindee without replacing anything
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge, across enamelled basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Maindee as everywhere else we work.

What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Maindee
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
