Trusted sink repair in Newington

Sink repair in Newington without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips around the rim and knocks from hair straighteners.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

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

Your questions about sink repair in Newington

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Nottinghamshire.

Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Newington clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole basin

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
