Sink repair in Kettering, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Whether it’s a crazed, tired basin and a chipped basin edge, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Do not overtighten taps
- Repair chips before they stain
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
FAQs for Kettering
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
The process
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kettering. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
