Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Sink repair in Old Newton without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps, we can help, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

FAQs for Old Newton
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Are there extra charges for Old Newton?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Old Newton included. Travel is included in the price.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Landlord and trade work in Old Newton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Suffolk and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Repair chips before they stain
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
