  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste
  • Chips around the rim

Questions to ask before you book

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Repairing versus replacing in Knutton

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Common questions in Knutton

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you come to Knutton?

We do. We send a technician to Knutton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes, very frequently. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Knutton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, 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, with colour mixed on site.

Keeping it looking good

So the finish stays in good condition for years:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knutton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
