FAQs for Kaimend
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens next?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Sink repair in Kaimend, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. Common call-outs are for knocks from hair straighteners and cracks around the tap holes or waste, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
Landlord and trade work in Kaimend
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When to call us in Kaimend
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- A chipped vanity basin
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
- An antique basin with chips

Other services in Kaimend
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
