Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Kingsdown questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a couple of hours for most chips, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What else we do in Kingsdown
Landlord and trade work in Kingsdown
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
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 won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
