Your questions about sink repair in Kingsteps
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Which areas do you work in?
Everywhere in the UK, Kingsteps included. Travel is included in the price.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Sink repair in Kingsteps without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is normally repaired in place. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about chips on the rim or front edge and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it.

How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kingsteps, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How to care for the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
What a repair cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Kingsteps
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Landlord and trade work in Kingsteps
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
