FAQs for Newtown
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?
Everywhere in the UK, Newtown included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Through cracks that let water out
- Plumbing leaks
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Newtown
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An original basin worth saving
- A crazed, tired basin
Before you book anyone
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
