When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Sink repair in Dargate, done in place

We repair chips, cracks and crazing in ceramic basins and vanity units, matching the colour and gloss. The basin stays on the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, antique & period basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and people most often call us about chips from dropped toiletries and cracks starting at the waste.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Common questions in Dargate

Can you keep the maker’s mark?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Tell us about it when you send pictures.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you work in Dargate?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Dargate and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I get a price for sink repair in Dargate?

Repairs from £95. We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use gentle cleaners

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dargate. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire basin
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Dargate

Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Chips around the rim
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An original basin worth saving
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dargate

For anyone letting property in or around Dargate, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
  2. We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish it into the surrounding surface.
  5. You can usually use the basin later that day or the next.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Materials and what they mean for the repair

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.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Should you replace it?

Basins are frequently built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Our sink repair starts from £95. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
