DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Newton Tracey. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Newton Tracey: your questions answered
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your EX31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Use mild cleaners only
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
