Sink repair in Kenn

Sink repair in Kenn, done in place

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re often asked to fix fine cracks across the glaze and cracks starting at the waste, in ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

Kenn questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you remove the sink?

No. We repair it where it is, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover Kenn?

We do. Technicians travel to Kenn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Kenn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can usually be used later that day or the next day.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Kenn

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it

See our prices page.

Keeping it looking good

To keep it looking its best:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in North Somerset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Kenn

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • Through cracks that let water out

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.
