How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

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 quote, not an estimate.

Advice

How we handle sink repair in Kenton

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. Typical jobs include damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a period basin that needs restoring, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we’re called out for in Kenton

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks often start around the taps and waste.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

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

Surfaces we repair

  • Vanity unit basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Kenton questions

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Kenton?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Why repair rather than replace?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Kenton clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
