A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Through cracks that let water out
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

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

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins

Your questions about sink repair in Dymchurch

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What does sink repair cost?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair an antique basin?

Yes. We repair around makers’ marks where we can. Mention it when you ask for a quote.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Dymchurch. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Dymchurch

Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dymchurch

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean the basin and check 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. The basin can usually be used later that day or the following day.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Period and antique

Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically.

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.
