How the visit works

- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Sink repair in Kirn without replacing anything
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We work on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks around the tap holes or waste and an antique basin with chips.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Landlord and trade work in Kirn
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirn as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
What affects the price in Kirn
Prices start from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Leaks from the fittings
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Get chips repaired early
- Do not overtighten taps
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
