Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we handle sink repair in Newport
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and chips on a built-in basin.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is usually best. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

What your quote should include
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
We do not add 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.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
