Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

- Antique & period basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Newbury
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Newbury: your questions answered
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you come to Newbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newbury and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
