Your questions about sink repair in Knapp

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What affects the price in Knapp

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TA3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

How to care for the repair

It’s all simple stuff:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Repairing versus replacing in Knapp

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
