About our sink repair in Durlock
Antique and period basins are worth repairing, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a crazed, tired basin, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and antique & period basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- Typically the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repair chips before they stain
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in. Early repair keeps it a small job.
When we’d advise against a repair
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
What else we do in Durlock
Durlock questions
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you quote from photos?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What affects the price in Durlock
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- Details of any past repairs
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Landlord and trade work in Durlock
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Durlock. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why book with us
- A fixed quote before you book
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
