Sink repair in Kington, done in place
Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. We’re frequently asked to fix cracks around the tap holes or waste and fine cracks across the glaze, on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

Advice
When we would advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
- Leaks from the fittings
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.

Questions from Kington
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
How much does sink repair cost in Kington?
Repairs from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your HR5 postcode.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Should you replace it?
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
