Sink repair near Kettle Corner

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

About our sink repair in Kettle Corner

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need sink repair in Kettle Corner?

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • A period basin that needs restoring

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace: which is better?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Go 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 the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

What affects the price in Kettle Corner

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ME15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Kettle Corner

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Do you work in Kettle Corner?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Kettle Corner from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
