Questions from Hawthorn
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
What does sink repair cost?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Through cracks that let water out
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Widespread crazing
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Vanity unit basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Hawthorn. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material
- Unusual colours or finishes
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Hawthorn, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How to care for the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not overtighten taps
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so the sooner it’s repaired, the better.
Do you need sink repair in Hawthorn?
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Fine cracks across the glaze
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- A chipped basin edge

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hawthorn. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
