Kingsdown: your questions answered

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Kingsdown and the rest of Wiltshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Do not overtighten taps
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

Common problems we fix in Kingsdown

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crazed, tired basin

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on
