Sink repair near Kingstone Winslow

Sink repair in Kingstone Winslow without replacing anything

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips around the rim.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Common questions in Kingstone Winslow

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you restore period basins?

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

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Do you cover the whole of Swindon?

We cover the entire UK, including Kingstone Winslow and the rest of Swindon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Different materials, different repairs

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When to call us in Kingstone Winslow

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
