Herne Bay questions
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Herne Bay.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Sink repair in Herne Bay without replacing anything
Whether it’s a chipped rim or a crack by the tap holes, basin damage is usually repaired in place. Nothing is unplumbed or taken off the wall. Common call-outs are for a crack near the taps and fine cracks across the glaze, across antique & period basins, enamelled basins and vanity unit basins.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back.

What affects the price in Herne Bay
Repairs from £95. We do not charge extra for travel to Herne Bay. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the whole basin
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the work has cured, treat it gently:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
Don’t 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 and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.
Common problems we fix in Herne Bay
Fine crazing in the glaze is normally down to age, and strong chemicals speed it up.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An original basin worth saving
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Aftercare advice
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- A loose basin, until it’s refixed
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins

Advice
What your basin is made of matters
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.
