How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we’re there. Somewhere like King Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the sink repair comes with us in one trip.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep a parking space clear if you can
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access

Landlord and trade work in King Street
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repairing versus replacing in King Street
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Older homes around King Street may have sizes and fittings that new pieces don’t match. A repair keeps the original.
Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Colours mixed by hand to suit your surface
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Normally one visit, start to finish
See our Prices page.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for King Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in King Street, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.
