What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
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
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
What we are called out for in Newington
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- When it can be used again
- How to care for the finish
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Repair chips before they stain
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.

FAQs for Newington
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Newington.
Do you cover the entire of Oxfordshire?
The whole UK, including all of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
