Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Plumbing leaks
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Newbiggin-on-Lune questions
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
How much does sink repair cost in Newbiggin-on-Lune?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
