Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair at your home in Kelsale
Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips on the rim or front edge, we can usually put it right, on enamelled basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kelsale
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

What we cannot put right

- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Plumbing leaks
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole basin
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Different materials, different repairs
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.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Questions from Kelsale
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.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are there extra charges for Kelsale?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
