How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

FAQs for Kegworth
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
What we’re called out for in Kegworth

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kegworth. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to look after the repair
Nothing complicated is needed, just a few sensible habits:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
