DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Sink repair in Courtsend, done in place
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, for a fresh, even finish. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and vanity unit basins, and people most often call us about damage to a basin in a vanity unit and a crazed, tired basin.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Courtsend. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How to look after the repair
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
