What affects the price in New Inn
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to New Inn. The price comes down to:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
For landlords and businesses
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Inn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Common questions in New Inn
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes New Inn. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in New Inn
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Colour-matched on site
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- One visit for most repairs

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
