Sink repair for Kingston Stert homes

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Sink repair in Kingston Stert, done in place

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. If you are dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and crazing in the glaze, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

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 fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

What a repair cannot fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Do you need sink repair in Kingston Stert?

Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Chips around the rim
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Questions from Kingston Stert

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
