What your basin is made of matters
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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What else we do in Newbigging
Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
What you get with us
- A fixed quote before booking
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Everything repaired in place

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newbigging. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we work on in Newbigging
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
