Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
How we handle sink repair in Newmilns
We match the glaze as well as the colour. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We regularly repair Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are cracks starting at the waste and knocks from hair straighteners.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Newmilns: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
What information do you need?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What else we do in Newmilns
How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
