FAQs for Biddenden

How much does sink repair cost in Biddenden?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your TN27 postcode.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

How to look after the repair

Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:

  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Biddenden

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, and some happen during bathroom refits.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A crack near the taps
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What aftercare is recommended

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. There is no area surcharge for Biddenden. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole basin
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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.

Repair or replace in Biddenden?

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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean the basin and check the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. The finish is matched to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Widespread crazing
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

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