Sink Repair in Kernick
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Kernick, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Kernick, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. If you are dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, on Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kernick use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Your questions about sink repair in Kernick
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Aftercare tips
Nothing complicated is needed:
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
If you’re in Kernick and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
