Choosing a repair company

About our sink repair in Aylesham

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix chips around the rim and fine cracks across the glaze, across Belfast and butler sinks, antique & period basins and enamelled basins.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple:

  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Aylesham

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Aylesham?

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Widespread crazing

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Aylesham

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Aylesham?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Aylesham?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Aylesham. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
