How we handle sink repair in Coursehorn
From hairline cracks by the taps to chips on the rim, most basin damage can be repaired without removing anything. The taps stay connected and the basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about a crack near the taps and chips on the rim or front edge.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How the visit works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Coursehorn questions
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Do you need sink repair in Coursehorn?
Dropped glass bottles and heavy toiletries are the usual cause of chips, and some happen during bathroom refits.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A crack near the taps
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before booking
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
- What preparation is included
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

What else we do in Coursehorn
Keeping it looking good
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
