Sink repair at your home in Knowle Style

When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a crazed, tired basin and a chipped vanity basin.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Looking after it afterwards

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Knowle Style: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire basin and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What a repair can’t fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

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

Different materials, different repairs

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Knowle Style

  • Chips around the rim
  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • A crack near the taps
  • Chips on a built-in basin

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended

  • Whether they match the colour on site
