Sink & basin repair in Cliffs End, Kent
Chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins in Cliffs End, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we handle sink repair in Cliffs End
We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, with the colour and shine matched to the basin. The basin stays on the wall. If you’re dealing with damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

How to look after the repair
It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not overtighten taps
- Use gentle cleaners
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Repair or replace: which is better?
A basin cracked through and leaking needs replacing. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Prices start from £95. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What affects the price in Cliffs End
Repairs from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
- Access to the area
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole basin, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
