For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newbridge use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we do, step by step
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Newbridge
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Keeping it looking good
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Repair chips before they stain
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
