FAQs for Hacklinge
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, with the taps left connected.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes, very often. The repair is shaped and polished to blend in.
Can you keep the maker’s mark?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Hacklinge
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hacklinge as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What a repair cannot fix
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Widespread crazing
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

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

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by cleaning the basin and assessing the damage.
- 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.
- Usually the basin is back in use the same day or the next.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
How to get a price
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
Signs you need sink repair in Hacklinge
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Chips around the rim
Questions to ask before booking
- Who turns up on the day
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- If travel is included in the price
Keeping it looking good
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
