There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Are there extra charges for Kilham?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Aftercare tips

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

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.

Do you need sink repair in Kilham?

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

  • Chips on the rim or front edge

Our hiring checklist

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Kilham

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Kilham

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There is no charge for travel to Kilham. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
