Repair or replace: which is better?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • No extra charge for your area

Take a look at our prices page.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • Through cracks that let water out
  • Widespread crazing

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks

10 questions to ask before you book

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Hartlip

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Hartlip is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you work in Hartlip?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Hartlip and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Looking after it afterwards

Once the work has cured, treat it gently:

  • Use mild cleaners only
  • Repair chips before they stain
  • Do not stand heavy bottles on the edge
  • Use gentle cleaners

Wipe the basin over after use, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
