What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

Advice

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you need sink repair in Chatham Green?

Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What your basin is made of matters

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Vitreous china

Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Use gentle cleaners

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Repair or replace in Chatham Green?

A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
