Sink repair in Kibblesworth without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are a chipped vanity basin and chips from dropped toiletries.

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

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kibblesworth. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire basin
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Read our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

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

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Kibblesworth

Will you remove the sink?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Kibblesworth?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover Kibblesworth?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kibblesworth and the rest of Gateshead. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Keeping it looking good

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

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

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

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
