DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Newton St Cyres. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
When to call us in Newton St Cyres
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
What your quote should include
- How to care for the finish
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Should you replace it?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
Newton St Cyres: your questions answered
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How much does sink repair cost in Newton St Cyres?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
What happens if you find more damage?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton St Cyres as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
