Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How we handle sink repair in Kessingland

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone.

What affects the price in Kessingland

Repairs from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kessingland. The price depends on:

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

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole basin

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kessingland

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kessingland use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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 colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Aftercare tips

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
