About our sink repair in Newton
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped vanity basin, on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Can I fix it myself?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When to call us in Newton
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:
- A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking
- What aftercare is recommended

What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WF10 postcode.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Newton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
