Questions from Newfoundpool
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you work in Newfoundpool?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newfoundpool. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How the visit works
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Same prices wherever you are
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
Read our pricing.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we’re called out for in Newfoundpool
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A crack near the taps
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- An original basin worth saving
Comparing quotes
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
