Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- One picture of the whole basin
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Bekesbourne Hill: your questions answered
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can usually be repaired. A crack that leaks right through typically means a new basin.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
How much does sink repair cost in Bekesbourne Hill?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the following day.
Before we arrive
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry

Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Repairing versus replacing in Bekesbourne Hill
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Repair chips before they stain
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
