When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Aftercare tips
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Get chips repaired early
- Use mild cleaners only
- Avoid abrasive pads
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.

How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Hawkinge. The price reflects:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
Every job is a little different, 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.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus

Advice
Your questions about sink repair in Hawkinge
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Hawkinge?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hawkinge from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it isn’t leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Why repair rather than replace?
A basin is typically fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. A repair avoids that. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hawkinge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
