Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes cost nothing and no obligation.
About our sink repair in Great Stonar
We match the glaze as well as the colour, because a dull patch on a shiny basin stands out. We polish each repair to the basin’s shine. We are frequently asked to fix knocks from hair straighteners and a chipped basin edge, on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Somewhere like Great Stonar, you may still have period sanitaryware, and those are worth keeping. We work around original marks where possible.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Great Stonar: what to know about sink repair

Your questions about sink repair in Great Stonar
Can you restore the original basins in an older house in Great Stonar?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. We’ll give you an honest view from photos.
Do you cover villages like Great Stonar?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
We cover the whole UK, including Great Stonar and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Great Stonar
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Stonar as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we would advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- Through cracks that let water out
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
Signs you need sink repair in Great Stonar
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, which can crack it around the holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips on the rim or front edge
Landlords with property near Sandwich station (about 1.2 miles south) use us between tenancies, so basins are repaired rather than replaced.

Repairs by material
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we polish the repair to suit.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go. Somewhere as small as Great Stonar, access is typically the main thing to plan. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- The finish is matched to the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can normally be used later that day or the day after.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Advice
How to look after the repair
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
