How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Pont Ebbw. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pont Ebbw, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in Pont Ebbw
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Newport.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Pont Ebbw. Prices do not change with location.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
