The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Kilhallon questions

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Kilhallon is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace in Kilhallon?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book

  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

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

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
