Questions from Newby
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work in Newby?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Lancashire?
All of Lancashire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Repair or replace in Newby?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
When to call us in Newby
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A crazed, tired basin
- A chipped vanity basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
Most clients in Newby get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
