Sink repair at your home in East Keswick

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips from dropped toiletries and chips on the rim or front edge.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for East Keswick. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Keswick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LS17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Get chips repaired early

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace in East Keswick?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
