About our sink repair in Cheriton
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. Typical jobs include damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and a crack near the taps, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repair or replace in Cheriton?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Cheriton questions
Do you hold any accreditations?

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Are there extra charges for Cheriton?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Signs you need sink repair in Cheriton
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A crack near the taps
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Before you book anyone
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cheriton
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cheriton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How to look after the repair
How the surface is treated afterwards matters:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
