What else we do in Ketton
What affects the price in Ketton
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Ketton. The price comes down to:
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why Ketton customers choose us
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- A fixed quote before you book
- Work done at your home or business

Aftercare tips
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Widespread crazing
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- A basin cracked through and leaking
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Ketton
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
The process
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, including clearing up.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Ketton questions
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
