What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Newton Ketton questions
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you need sink repair in Newton Ketton?
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Questions to ask before you book
- What prep work is covered
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
What we cannot put right
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks

Repair or replace in Newton Ketton?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why book with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
See our prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
