What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We mix the colour to suit the glaze.
- The repair is polished so it blends in.
- The basin can generally be used later that day or the day after.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know which floor the room is on
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
Your questions about sink repair in Hartley
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
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 a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Repair or replace in Hartley?
A new basin may mean new taps, a new waste and new tiling, and if it’s part of a suite, it may not match. Repairing it avoids those problems. Our sink repair starts from £95. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Why Hartley clients choose us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- No need to remove anything
- Fixed prices from your photos
- Every repair guaranteed for a year

For landlords and businesses
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What we’re called out for in Hartley
Basins take knocks every day: bottles, hair straighteners and razors catch the front edge and rim. Cracks tend to start near the tap holes and waste.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Crazing in the glaze
- An original basin worth saving
- Cracks starting at the waste
- Damage from dropped bottles or hair tools
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the room is protected while they work
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
