Your questions about sink repair in Hawley
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Will you remove the sink?
No, it stays where it is. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you come to Hawley?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hawley for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
How we handle sink repair in Hawley
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. There is no plumbing to disconnect. We work on vanity unit basins, enamelled basins and antique & period basins, and common reasons people get in touch are a crack near the taps and damage to a basin in a vanity unit.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

What sink repair costs
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- The material
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole basin
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Why repair rather than replace?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Our sink repair starts from £95. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use a heat mat for hair tools
- Repair chips before they stain
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.
