Sink repair in New Hartley, done in place
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and crazing in the glaze.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Questions from New Hartley
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Normally, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Do you need sink repair in New Hartley?
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish

Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
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.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
