Sink repair in Kirkhouse Green, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Aftercare tips

To keep it looking its best for years:

  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Get chips repaired early

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.

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.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kirkhouse Green. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Plumbing leaks

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

What we work on

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

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkhouse Green use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Doncaster and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Kirkhouse Green questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

How it works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting 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 give you a fixed quote without visiting.
