Trusted sink repair in Hamstreet

What your basin is made of matters

Vitreous china

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

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Sink repair in Hamstreet, done in place

Chipped, cracked and crazed basins and vanity units can be repaired, matching the colour and gloss. Nothing is taken off the wall. We work on vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and the jobs we see most are an original basin worth saving and a crazed, tired basin.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book.

Aftercare tips

How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings

A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.

Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Hamstreet, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Hamstreet

A basin sits at just the right height to be hit by everything, from glass bottles to hairdryers. Fittings that are overtightened can also crack the ceramic.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Fine cracks across the glaze
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • Knocks from hair straighteners

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Hamstreet

A new basin can mean a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Prices start from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Your questions about sink repair in Hamstreet

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you restore period basins?

Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What sink repair costs

Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a couple of hours for most chips, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
