Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newpool. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Colour-matched on site
  • One visit for most repairs

Newpool questions

Do you disconnect the taps?

Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Common problems we fix in Newpool

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Newpool, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Aftercare tips

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, 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.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
