Sink repair in Kingsmead without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped vanity basin.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Common questions in Kingsmead
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Often. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Are there extra charges for Kingsmead?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Kingsmead?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Kingsmead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Kingsmead
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Repair or replace in Kingsmead?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Work for landlords and builders
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Honest limits
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
Looking after it afterwards
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, 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.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
