Sink Repair for Darenth homes
Our repair technicians come to Darenth for chip, crack and resurfacing work on bathroom sinks and basins. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Repairs from £95
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Keeping it looking good
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Use mild cleaners only
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
Sink repair in Darenth without replacing anything
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 are dealing with crazing in the glaze and a crack near the taps, we can typically put it right, on antique & period basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and vanity unit basins alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DA2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Darenth: your questions answered
Can you repair an antique basin?

Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire basin and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Repairing versus replacing in Darenth

DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
