Keeping it looking good
It’s all simple stuff:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repairs by material
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. 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, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Broad Ford. What changes the price is:
- How much damage there is
- How many items we do on one visit
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the entire basin
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broad Ford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Broad Ford as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
