Landlord and trade work in Headcorn

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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When to call us in Headcorn

Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A crazed, tired basin
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • Cracks starting at the waste
  • An antique basin with chips

Why repair rather than replace?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Headcorn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A loose basin, until it’s refixed
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
  • Vanity unit basins
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Questions from Headcorn

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Headcorn. Prices do not change with location.

Can a cracked sink be fixed?

Typically, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Keeping it looking good

Aftercare is simple:

  • Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
  • Avoid abrasive pads
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A crack near the taps can spread, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.

What sink repair costs

Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Headcorn, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, tidy-up included.

  1. The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
  2. We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
  3. It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
  4. The colour is matched by hand.
  5. The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
