Sink repair in Newland without replacing anything

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Typical jobs include knocks from hair straighteners and chips around the rim, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.

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

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

When to call us in Newland

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Looking after it afterwards

A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Newland

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What affects the price in Newland

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Newland, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
