Sink repair for Keyhaven homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How we handle sink repair in Keyhaven

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips on the rim or front edge and chips from dropped toiletries.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

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

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Keyhaven?

Replacing a basin frequently means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Keyhaven: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Usually, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
