How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We protect the area around the basin.
  2. The damage is cleaned and prepared.
  3. We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Goodnestone questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is a chipped basin repairable?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • A basin cracked through and leaking
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Goodnestone

  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Materials and what they mean for the repair

Vitreous china

Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

When to call us in Goodnestone

Most chips come from something dropped into the bowl, along with damage during fitting.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • A chipped vanity basin
  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:

  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge

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.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
