How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newcourt. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most clients in Newcourt get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Sink repair in Newcourt without replacing anything
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Typical jobs include cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newcourt and across Devon.

Newcourt questions
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.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How much does sink repair cost in Newcourt?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repair or replace in Newcourt?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What happens on the day
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
