Fixed-price sink repair in Barfrestone and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Fine cracks across the glaze
Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best:
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Sink repair in Barfrestone, done in place
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. Our repair technicians work on ceramic & vitreous china basins, vanity unit basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and crazing in the glaze.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Barfrestone and across Kent.

What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Barfrestone. The price depends on:
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about sink repair in Barfrestone
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Do you work in Barfrestone?
We do. We send a technician to Barfrestone for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
What happens on the day
We turn 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 any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
