About our sink repair in Newsham
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you’re dealing with a chipped vanity basin and an original basin worth saving, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newsham. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Newsham questions
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Are there extra charges for Newsham?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
How to get a price

What we’re called out for in Newsham
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before booking anyone
- When it can be used again
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins

Why repair rather than replace?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
