DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What else we do in Garlinge
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- You can normally use the basin later that day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
What affects the price in Garlinge
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Garlinge. What changes the price is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How to look after the repair
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Use mild cleaners only
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.
An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Garlinge

Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Colour mixed on the day to match
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- No extra charge for your area

Garlinge: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, very frequently. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Can you quote from pictures?
Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will you remove the sink?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Garlinge, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
