How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Questions from New Hutton
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
What a repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Common problems we fix in New Hutton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips around the rim
Comparing quotes
- Aftercare advice
- When it can be used again

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Other services in New Hutton
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
