Landlords, agents and businesses in Kitwood
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kitwood use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Hampshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- We build up the filler and sand it flush.
- Colour and gloss are matched.
- We tidy up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting 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.
Advice
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire basin
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What else we do in Kitwood
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about sink repair in Kitwood
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Do you come to Kitwood?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Kitwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you quote from pictures?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How to look after the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
When a repair isn’t the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- A basin that moves on its brackets
- Through cracks that let water out
- Widespread crazing
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
What we are called out for in Kitwood
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- A crazed, tired basin
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A crack near the taps
What to look for in a quote
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How the colour is matched
