How we handle sink repair in Kingston
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and people most frequently call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and knocks from hair straighteners.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it.

Landlord and trade work in Kingston
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Kingston
Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crack near the taps
Questions to ask before you book
- Aftercare advice
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kingston. The price comes down to:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
How it works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kingston. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
What you get with us
- One visit for most repairs
- No extra charge for your area
- Colour-matched on site
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Get chips repaired early
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
