Sink repair in Knipton, done in place
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We’re often asked to fix crazing in the glaze and chips around the rim, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Don’t overtighten taps
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

FAQs for Knipton
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
How do I get a price for sink repair in Knipton?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Typically, if it isn’t leaking. A crack that leaks right through normally means a new basin.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
