About our sink repair in Newby
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, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an antique basin with chips and a crazed, tired basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t 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.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Newby: your questions answered
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
