Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Sink repair in Newton without replacing anything
We repair bathroom basins, cloakroom basins, vanity units and period basins, whatever they’re made of. There’s no plumbing to disconnect. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips from dropped toiletries and cracks around the tap holes or waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Why repair rather than replace?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Newton. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.
How to get a fixed quote
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cumbria and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
