About our sink repair in Newnham
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and a chipped basin edge, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Repairing versus replacing in Newnham
Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Advice
Landlord and trade work in Newnham
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newnham as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Signs you need sink repair in Newnham
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring

Aftercare tips
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
