Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aldington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Aldington: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover Aldington?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Aldington. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Repairs by material
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the whole basin
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repairing versus replacing in Aldington
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
