FAQs for New Abbey
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy 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. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- 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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Get chips repaired early
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is normally best. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
What you get with us
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- No extra charge for your area
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Normally one visit, start to finish

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Abbey use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
