Trusted sink repair in Hawkhurst

Sink repair in Hawkhurst without replacing anything

If the whole basin is crazed or worn, we can resurface it in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re often asked to fix damage from dropped bottles or hair tools and chips on the rim or front edge, across antique & period basins, vanity unit basins and enamelled basins.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hawkhurst and across Kent.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Hawkhurst

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hawkhurst, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. The area is degreased and keyed.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How to care for the repair

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Use a heat mat for hair tools

Do not rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Do you need sink repair in Hawkhurst?

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • A crack near the taps
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • Chips on the rim or front edge
  • Crazing in the glaze
