Should you replace it?
Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the next day.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Aftercare tips
It’s all simple stuff:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t overtighten taps
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Signs you need sink repair in Newton
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

- Plumbing leaks
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Newton. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The material
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Questions from Newton
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Newton. Prices don’t change with location.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
