Sink repair in Kingswood

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

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

Period and antique

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

Sink repair in Kingswood, done in place

It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are often asked to fix a crack near the taps and a crazed, tired basin, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, 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 the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a couple of hours for most chips. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Questions from Kingswood

Is a chipped basin repairable?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Are there extra charges for Kingswood?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Kingswood, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How to look after the repair

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. 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. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Repair or replace in Kingswood?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
