Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, 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?
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 typically the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Natural light rather than flash
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Your questions about sink repair in Kilrenny
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
