How we handle sink repair in Newbold

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and cracks starting at the waste, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Around Newbold, most of the basins we repair are in family bathrooms and cloakrooms. Most chips take a short visit.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What affects the price in Newbold

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

What the surface is made of
Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Whether we combine several jobs
The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A wider photo showing the whole basin
A clear, close picture of the problem area
The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is typically the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. In a smaller place like Newbold, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair is one visit from us.

Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
