How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
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 and leave the character intact.
Questions from Newington Green
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Are there extra charges for Newington Green?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newington Green. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
Most clients in Newington Green get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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 fails, we can still put it right.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
