- Repairs from £95
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle sink repair in Newtown
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin, across vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

What affects the price in Newtown
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Advice
What your basin is made of matters
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. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlord and trade work in Newtown
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Plumbing leaks
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
