Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Newton: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What information do you need?

What does sink repair cost?

Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Signs you need sink repair in Newton

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How to look after the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

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.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Newton and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

A new basin frequently means 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
