Newton Village: your questions answered
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repairing versus replacing in Newton Village
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- One visit for most repairs

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
