How we handle sink repair in Newfield
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and cracks starting at the waste.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 generally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What affects the price in Newfield
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Newfield, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of 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 couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
