Sink repair in Newbigging, done in place
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped basin edge and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What else we do in Newbigging
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbigging use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What affects the price in Newbigging
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
