Sink repair in New Kingston without replacing anything

A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Our repair technicians work on Belfast and butler sinks, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins, and people most frequently call us about fine cracks across the glaze and an original basin worth saving.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Repairs by material

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  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 any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. There’s no charge for travel to New Kingston. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Do not overtighten taps

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
