Kingston Maurward: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you come to Kingston Maurward?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Kingston Maurward from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are there extra charges for Kingston Maurward?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a couple of hours for most chips. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in Kingston Maurward
Prices start from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Signs you need sink repair in Kingston Maurward
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving

- What preparation is included
- When it can be used again

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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Kingston Maurward, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid abrasive pads
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
