What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Questions from Great Mongeham
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Great Mongeham and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Will you remove the sink?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens next?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Great Mongeham. The price comes down to:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Great Mongeham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Use gentle cleaners
Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
