Common questions in Crockenhill

Do you cover Crockenhill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Crockenhill. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Crockenhill.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

Do you need sink repair in Crockenhill?

Bathroom basins get knocked all the time: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
  • A period basin that needs restoring
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How to look after the finish

Aftercare tips

Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin

Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire basin

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. We match the colour by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a repair can’t fix

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
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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