How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we’re called out for in Newhall

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Landlord and trade work in Newhall

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaks from the fittings

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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 normally cheaper.

FAQs for Newhall

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
