About our sink repair in Killington

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips around the rim.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Killington and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Killington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Killington use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Killington

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Killington

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before you book anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
