About our sink repair in Kingsfold

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are a crack near the taps and chips on a built-in basin.

How to look after the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

What your basin is made of matters

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. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Questions from Kingsfold

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you cover the whole of West Sussex?

We work UK-wide, so Kingsfold is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

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

What we work on

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

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Kingsfold. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
