Before and after: a crack on the edge of a basin repaired

Repair or replace in South Killingholme?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

See our prices page.

When we would advise against a repair

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

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in South Killingholme

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What we’re called out for in South Killingholme

Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • A chipped basin edge
  • Fine cracks across the glaze

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What protection goes down before work starts

  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

South Killingholme: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the entire of North East Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, South Killingholme included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Often. Send us photos and we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How to care for the repair

Nothing complicated is needed:

  • Keep heavy bottles off the rim
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Repair chips before they stain

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
