What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Newport. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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 generally cheaper.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Newport questions
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Newport?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Newport and the rest of Newport. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Newport.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
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.
