Aftercare tips

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we handle sink repair in North Kelsey

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. Whether it’s knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

North Kelsey: your questions answered

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

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

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

All of Lincolnshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in North Kelsey, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Normally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

Finding the same basin again isn’t always possible, especially in a matching suite. A repair keeps your suite matching. Our sink repair starts from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
