Sink repair in Kingstone, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are fine cracks across the glaze and damage from dropped bottles or hair tools.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
If you are in Kingstone and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Common problems we fix in Kingstone
Fine crazing in the glaze is typically down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A chipped basin edge
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- An original basin worth saving
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- If travel is included in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kingstone
If you manage property in Kingstone, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- 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
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
