Sink repair in Newbourne without replacing anything
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
When to call us in Newbourne
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Common questions in Newbourne
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newbourne. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Get a quote
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
