Sink repair in Kingstone without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. If you’re dealing with an original basin worth saving and knocks from hair straighteners, we can generally put it right, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

Before and after: a damaged ceramic basin restored

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Repairing versus replacing in Kingstone

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs

Kingstone: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

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

Can you repair a chipped basin?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

When to call us in Kingstone

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back

If you are in Kingstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
