Sink repair in Keiss

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Sink repair at your home in Keiss

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with chips on a built-in basin and a chipped basin edge, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Keeping it looking good

Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Keiss

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Signs you need sink repair in Keiss

Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before you book anyone

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

Advice

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Keiss. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole basin

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Keiss, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
