Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbigging use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Newbigging
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newbigging. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry
Ask for a price

Advice
Repair or replace in Newbigging?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is usually the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
