Sink repair for Keythorpe homes

Looking after it afterwards

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

About our sink repair in Keythorpe

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We’re often asked to fix chips on the rim or front edge and an antique basin with chips, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Leicestershire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Keythorpe

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. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Keythorpe customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Colour-matched on site
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

Keythorpe questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your LE7 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
