Sink repair at your home in Newtown
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a chipped basin edge and an original basin worth saving.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How to care for the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Common questions in Newtown
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.
The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace in Newtown?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
