Sink repair in Kiddington

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

About our sink repair in Kiddington

From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, basin damage is typically repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Kiddington and across Oxfordshire.

Looking after it afterwards

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Repair chips before they stain

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

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.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Kiddington

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

The things clients typically mention when they call are:

  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • An antique basin with chips

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who turns up on the day
