DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Questions from Kelham
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What else we do in Kelham
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Signs you need sink repair in Kelham
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Overtightened fittings can crack ceramic too.
Common reasons people in Kelham contact us are:
- Chips around the rim
- An antique basin with chips
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Who turns up on the day
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
What affects the price in Kelham
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
How to care for the repair
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
