Sink repair at your home in New Winton
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most frequently call us about chips on the rim or front edge and knocks from hair straighteners.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What happens on the day
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
What your basin is made of matters
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.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for New Winton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
