Landlord and trade work in Capel-le-Ferne
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
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.
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

FAQs for Capel-le-Ferne
How do I book?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very often. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Are there extra charges for Capel-le-Ferne?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Repairs by material
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
