Sink repair for Frittenden homes

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  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

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to care for the repair

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Avoid abrasive pads

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Your questions about sink repair in Frittenden

What does sink repair cost?

Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your TN17 postcode.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair a cracked basin?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

Matching a discontinued basin can be impossible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. A repair keeps your suite matching. Prices start from £95. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Repairs from £95. You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Widespread crazing
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frittenden

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
