DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Take a look at our pricing.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We don’t charge extra for travel to Kiplin. The price comes down to:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The colour and finish to match
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.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Kiplin, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Get chips repaired early
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Common questions in Kiplin
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
