Kingsmuir questions
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Frequently. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Sink repair at your home in Kingsmuir
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. We are frequently asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crazed, tired basin, across antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Kingsmuir. The price depends on:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Any details about the material
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Should you replace it?
Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Our sink repair starts from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kingsmuir. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
