Should you replace it?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in New Lane, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
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.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for New Lane. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is a repair better than a new one?

Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
What we’re called out for in New Lane
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
