Trusted sink repair in Charing

What affects the price in Charing

Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Charing

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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

Different materials, different repairs

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Charing: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you disconnect the taps?

No. We repair it where it is, without disconnecting anything.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Across the UK, and that includes Charing. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Plumbing leaks
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Vanity unit basins

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Charing

Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. A repair avoids all of that. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Colour mixed on the day to match
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
