Sink repair for Gold Street homes

What affects the price in Gold Street

Prices start from £95. You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Sink repair at your home in Gold Street

A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. We fill, shape and polish the damage so it blends into the glaze. We work on antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins, and common reasons people get in touch are chips on the rim or front edge and a crack near the taps.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Leaks from the fittings
  • A basin that moves on its brackets

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Gold Street

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Enamelled basins

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Gold Street questions

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Are you accredited?

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you need to take the basin off the wall?

Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.

How to look after the repair

So the finish stays in good condition:

  • Get chips repaired early
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened

Treat the basin gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

When to call us in Gold Street

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A crack near the taps
  • An original basin worth saving
  • A crazed, tired basin

Choosing a repair company

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the basin is cleaned and the damage checked.
  2. The chip or crack is filled and shaped to match the basin.
  3. We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
  4. We polish the repair to blend it in.
  5. Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
