Sink & basin repair in Newtown, Wigan
Sink repair in Newtown without the cost of replacing. Send us pictures for a fixed price, then we come to you.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips on a built-in basin
- A crack near the taps
Keeping it looking good
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
How we handle sink repair in Newtown
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a period basin that needs restoring, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newtown as everywhere else we work.

What affects the price in Newtown
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Newtown get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
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.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Questions from Newtown
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
