How we handle sink repair in Breach

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. If you are dealing with a chipped basin edge and a chipped vanity basin, we can generally put it right.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
  4. The repair is polished so it blends in.
  5. Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Breach: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Breach?

Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

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.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Breach

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Breach?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is generally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Breach. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our full price list.

Keeping it looking good

Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:

  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools
  • 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 water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
