What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Sink repair in Knowle, done in place

Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Common call-outs are for fine cracks across the glaze and chips on a built-in basin, across enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Repair or replace in Knowle?

A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knowle

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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, with colour mixed on site.

Knowle questions

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are there extra charges for Knowle?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Knowle

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • An original basin worth saving
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who turns up on the day

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX33 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
