How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a couple of hours for most chips. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kemprow

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Common problems we fix in Kemprow

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Can I fix it myself?

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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
