Sink & basin repair in Chalksole Green, Kent
Sink repair in and around Chalksole Green: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Repairs from £95
- Cracks starting at the waste
- An antique basin with chips
How to look after the repair
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Repair chips before they stain
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Sink repair in Chalksole Green, done in place
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. Our technicians work on antique & period basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and the jobs we see most are chips on the rim or front edge and a chipped vanity basin.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Different materials, different repairs
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
