About our sink repair in Fant
It’s not just the colour we match, it’s the gloss, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. Repairs are polished to the same shine. We regularly repair vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a chipped vanity basin and an antique basin with chips.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Fant
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Repairing versus replacing in Fant
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. Repairing it avoids those problems. Prices start from £95. 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.

- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Signs you need sink repair in Fant
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.

How it works
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fant. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
