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.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

About our sink repair in Keyston

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for an original basin worth saving and chips on a built-in basin, in antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cambridgeshire.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Keyston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging 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 in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Keyston

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Keyston is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How to care for the repair

Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use mild cleaners only

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repairing versus replacing in Keyston

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
