Keeping it looking good

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

Most clients in Kingswood get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Repair or replace in Kingswood?

A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Common questions in Kingswood

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Kingswood?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Do you come to Kingswood?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kingswood and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

  • Enamelled basins

Choosing a repair company

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
