Sink & basin repair in Kilcot, Gloucestershire
We travel to Kilcot for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Crazing in the glaze
- Knocks from hair straighteners
The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Aftercare tips
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Signs you need sink repair in Kilcot
Basins are right where bottles and hair tools get dropped, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners

Repairs by material
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.
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.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Kilcot questions
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you cover Kilcot?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Kilcot. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
