Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. There’s no area surcharge for Gravesend. What changes the price is:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Gravesend. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Details of any past repairs
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
How to care for the repair
Simple care helps the repair last. Our advice:
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Use mild cleaners only
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
When a repair is not the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Leaks from the fittings
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Enamelled basins
Your questions about sink repair in Gravesend
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How much does sink repair cost in Gravesend?
Repairs from £95. Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Surface cracks can typically be repaired. A crack that leaks right through usually means a new basin.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When to call us in Gravesend
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors chip the rim and front edge. Cracks frequently start around the taps and waste.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Crazing in the glaze
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
Questions to ask before you book
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Who turns up on the day
- What preparation is included
- How changes to the job are handled
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Composite and resin
Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a couple of hours for most chips. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- 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 it into the surrounding surface.
- Generally the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
