How we handle sink repair in Kirton End

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Common call-outs are for damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crack near the taps, across vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Kirton End questions

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
