Sink repair at your home in New Gate
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. If you’re dealing with cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners, we can normally put it right, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

Common questions in New Gate
How much does sink repair cost in New Gate?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Landlord and trade work in New Gate
For anyone letting property in or around New Gate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
