Sink repair in Kintbury

How the visit works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How we handle sink repair in Kintbury

Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We’re often asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a period basin that needs restoring, in antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kintbury. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your RG17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Common questions in Kintbury

Will you remove the sink?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Normally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

How to care for the repair

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

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
