Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Newstead. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the entire basin
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
How to care for the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Newstead questions
How much does sink repair cost in Newstead?
Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PE9 postcode.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
