Sink repair in Blean without replacing anything
We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. Repairs are polished to the same shine. Our repair technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and chips on a built-in basin.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.

Your questions about sink repair in Blean
Are there extra charges for Blean?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Swapping a basin frequently brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Why us?
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a couple of hours for most chips from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A picture taken from further back
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Blean
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Aftercare tips
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Do you need sink repair in Blean?
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

- A crack near the taps

- Crazing in the glaze
Questions to ask before you book
