Sink & basin repair in Newtown, Cumbria
Sink repair across Newtown and nearby, normally in one visit.
- Repairs from £95
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Chips around the rim
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Sink repair in Newtown, done in place
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on a built-in basin and an original basin worth saving.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cumbria.

What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What affects the price in Newtown
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
