What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the area is dry
- Open a window if you can

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

More services for Newburn
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Keeping it looking good
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Repairing versus replacing in Newburn
A basin is usually fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
