Sink repair in Knapton without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. We fill, shape and polish the damage to blend with the surrounding glaze. If you are dealing with a period basin that needs restoring and cracks around the tap holes or waste, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What a repair can’t fix

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

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Knapton

Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Knapton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Common questions in Knapton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Knapton.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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 tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NR28 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
