- Repairs from £95
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A crazed, tired basin
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Sink repair in Herne without replacing anything
When a basin is worn or crazed all over, it can be resurfaced in place, giving it an even new finish. We’re frequently asked to fix a crazed, tired basin and knocks from hair straighteners, across ceramic & vitreous china basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- We degrease and key the damage.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What affects the price in Herne
Prices start from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the entire basin
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Why repair rather than replace?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
What you get with us
- Normally one visit, start to finish
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Herne: your questions answered
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a crack in a basin repairable?
In many cases. Send us pictures and we will tell you.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you come to Herne?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Herne and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Herne
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. 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.

When to call us in Herne
Fittings tightened too hard strain the basin, and cracks can start at the tap holes.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- An antique basin with chips
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
- A chipped basin edge
- Chips from dropped toiletries
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
