Sink repair at your home in Newtown
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips around the rim and a crazed, tired basin.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
- A photo taken from further back
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot 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.
Your questions about sink repair in Newtown
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What does sink repair cost?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
