What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the whole basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Sink repair at your home in Newtown
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and cracks starting at the waste.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

FAQs for Newtown
Do you cover the whole of Wokingham?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can normally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Are there extra charges for Newtown?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What we are called out for in Newtown
Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Chips around the rim
- A chipped vanity basin
- Cracks starting at the waste
- A crazed, tired basin
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Newtown
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
Keeping it looking good
To keep it looking its best:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Wokingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
