Why repair rather than replace?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about sink repair in Keadby

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Are there extra charges for Keadby?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we’re called out for in Keadby

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.

Common reasons people in Keadby contact us are:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • A chipped basin edge

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel

10 questions to ask before booking

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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