About our sink repair in Faversham

We match the glaze as well as the colour, since a matt patch on a glossy basin is obvious. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. If you are dealing with cracks around the tap holes or waste and a crazed, tired basin, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a couple of hours for most chips.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

What we are called out for in Faversham

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • An antique basin with chips
  • Cracks around the tap holes or waste

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Keeping it looking good

It’s all simple stuff, just a few sensible habits:

  • Don’t overtighten taps
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Store toiletries on a shelf

Treat the basin 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.

Should you replace it?

A new basin often means a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. Repairing it leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Colour mixed on the day to match

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.

Landlord and trade work in Faversham

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Honest limits

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

  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • Leaks from the fittings

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