DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Newington
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Common questions in Newington
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
