Your questions about sink repair in Knossington
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Knossington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Repair or replace in Knossington?
Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Colour-matched on site

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Let us know which floor the room is on

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Common problems we fix in Knossington
A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, so chips are common. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
