What your basin is made of matters
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
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we handle sink repair in Kingskettle
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most frequently call us about crazing in the glaze and an original basin worth saving.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your KY15 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Questions from Kingskettle
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Fife. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Do you need sink repair in Kingskettle?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Crazing in the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
