Sink Repair for Caring homes

Sink repair at your home in Caring
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. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people contact us are an antique basin with chips and a chipped vanity basin.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

Do you need sink repair in Caring?
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- A chipped basin edge
- An original basin worth saving
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Questions to ask before you book
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the price covers travel
- How long it needs to cure
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin that moves on its brackets
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins

Looking after it afterwards
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. There is no area surcharge for Caring. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- How many areas need work
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- 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: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Caring questions
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you cover Caring?
We do. Technicians travel to Caring from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Caring
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
