Repair or replace: which is better?
Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Kettlestone questions
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Kettlestone
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
If you manage property in Kettlestone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Use gentle cleaners
- Repair chips before they stain
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- 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.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry
