Choosing a repair company

How we handle sink repair in North Kilvington

Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We regularly repair antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and enamelled basins, and the jobs we see most are knocks from hair straighteners and fine cracks across the glaze.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Keeping it looking good

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

North Kilvington: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are there extra charges for North Kilvington?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
