Sink repair in Farleigh Green, done in place

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. We regularly repair enamelled basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and the jobs we see most are a crack near the taps and chips from dropped toiletries.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

FAQs for Farleigh Green

Are there extra charges for Farleigh Green?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

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.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Leaks from the fittings

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
