Sink repair for Keysoe homes

About our sink repair in Keysoe

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are crazing in the glaze and a chipped vanity basin.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Keysoe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Choosing a repair company

Keysoe: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Keysoe. What changes the price is:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your MK44 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Keysoe

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. 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.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
