Sink repair near Kingston

Sink repair at your home in Kingston

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people contact us are an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Your questions about sink repair in Kingston

Are there extra charges for Kingston?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in Kingston

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most customers in Kingston get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingston

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
