Sink repair in Newtown without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

What else we do in Newtown
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Newtown questions
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Newtown?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What affects the price in Newtown
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Newtown. The price comes down to:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A photo taken from further back
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
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.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
