What else we do in Newton
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice
Repair or replace in Newton?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Newton questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
