Sink repair near Chiddingstone Hoath

How we handle sink repair in Chiddingstone Hoath

We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We work on antique & period basins, enamelled basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and people most often call us about a chipped basin edge and a crack near the taps.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chiddingstone Hoath

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Chiddingstone Hoath

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

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Get chips repaired early
  • Don’t overtighten taps

Treat the basin 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.
