About our sink repair in Newtown
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and a chipped basin edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Your questions about sink repair in Newtown
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
How much does sink repair cost in Newtown?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we work on in Newtown

The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
