Kilby Bridge: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Do you cover the whole of Leicestershire?
All of Leicestershire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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 sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
