The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses
If you manage property in Gillingham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Repairing versus replacing in Gillingham
A basin is normally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. A repair avoids that. Prices start from £95. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Gillingham. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Questions from Gillingham
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens after I send photos?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
How much does sink repair cost in Gillingham?
Prices start from £95. Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What we can’t put right
A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
