Sink repair in Chartham without replacing anything
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and the jobs we see most are cracks starting at the waste and chips around the rim.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chartham
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How to care for the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. These habits help:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Repair chips before they stain
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Repair or replace in Chartham?
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Why book with us
- No need to remove anything
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- No extra charge for your area
- Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

When we would advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Your questions about sink repair in Chartham
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
Usually, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Chartham. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Are there extra charges for Chartham?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send photos.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
