Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to care for the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Newington: your questions answered
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover Newington?
We do. Technicians travel to Newington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Newington included. Travel is included in the price.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
