Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from South Newington
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
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.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Keeping it looking good
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from 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.
How the visit works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can generally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace: which is better?

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for South Newington. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Landlord and trade work in South Newington

When a repair isn’t the answer
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
