How we handle sink repair in Kingsand

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and chips around the rim.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

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

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kingsand. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingsand

If you manage property in Kingsand, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

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

Repair or replace in Kingsand?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
