Sink repair in New Kingston without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to New Kingston. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
