When to call us in Kibworth Harcourt
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Chips on a built-in basin
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips around the rim
- Chips from dropped toiletries

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Kibworth Harcourt: your questions answered
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Are there extra charges for Kibworth Harcourt?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kibworth Harcourt as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Leaks from the fittings
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks

- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep it looking its best:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Prices start from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- We leave the room as we found it
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
