How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Landlord and trade work in Barrowhill
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is usually 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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Barrowhill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed

Your questions about sink repair in Barrowhill
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

We cover the entire UK, including Barrowhill and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you restore period basins?

Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A wider photo showing the whole basin
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

- We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
