FAQs for Danaway
Do you disconnect the taps?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do you come to Danaway?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Danaway and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
How the visit works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a couple of hours for most chips. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Keeping it looking good
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Use mild cleaners only
- Don’t overtighten taps
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
What your basin is made of matters
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
We don’t 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 pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Danaway
Basins take knocks every day: heavy bottles, hairdryers and straighteners catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
