FAQs for Hildenborough

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Hildenborough and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Surface cracks can generally be repaired. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.

Repairs by material

Period and antique

Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Looking after it afterwards

After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Use gentle cleaners
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Use mild cleaners only

Use gentle cleaners and take care with heavy bottles and hair tools.

An unrepaired chip soon stains, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Plumbing leaks
  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

How we price sink repair

Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

A basin is generally fixed into a unit or tiled around, so changing one disturbs the surroundings. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Our sink repair starts from £95. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
