Advice
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Newcastle Higher. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Repair or replace in Newcastle Higher?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
FAQs for Newcastle Higher
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
