Sink repair at your home in Kingsholm

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repair or replace in Kingsholm?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What affects the price in Kingsholm
Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Work for landlords and builders
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What we do, step by step
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the day after.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
