Questions from Newtown Common
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How to look after the repair
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
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.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Point us to the nearest place to park

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Do you need sink repair in Newtown Common?
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- A crazed, tired basin
Comparing quotes
- How your room will be protected
- How the colour is matched
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether a trained technician does the job
What we cannot put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
