How we handle sink repair in Newton Downs
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
What you get with us
- Same prices wherever you are
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

- We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Questions from Newton Downs
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Looking after it afterwards
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Honest limits
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Newton Downs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newton Downs. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How it works
We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- 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.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Downs use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
