Sink repair in Kingston, done in place
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. Whether it’s chips on a built-in basin and cracks starting at the waste, we can usually put it right, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Lothian and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Kingston. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Kingston, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Kingston questions
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Kingston.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do you disconnect the taps?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Aftercare tips
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
