Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When to call us in Kimberley

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • An original basin worth saving

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Looking after it afterwards

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Repairing versus replacing in Kimberley

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

Why Kimberley customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

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

Questions from Kimberley

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Kimberley?

We do. We send a technician to Kimberley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Are there extra charges for Kimberley?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole basin
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
