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, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
When we’d advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out

Questions from Newtown
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Newtown included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The process
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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 tidy up and give you the curing time.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Newtown
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
