Sink repair at your home in Kehelland
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an original basin worth saving.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

Should you replace it?
A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 typically cheaper.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
What happens on the day
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kehelland. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
