Sink repair in Hollingbourne, done in place
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. If you’re dealing with fine cracks across the glaze and damage to a basin in a vanity unit, we can help, on enamelled basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and Belfast and butler sinks alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How to look after the repair
So the finish stays in good condition for years:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Use gentle cleaners
- Have new chips repaired quickly
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
There are no surprise 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.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire basin
- The material, if you know it
Most customers in Hollingbourne get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- The colour is matched by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?
Swapping a basin often brings new taps, a new waste and tiling work, and it may not match the rest of the suite. A repair avoids all of that. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hollingbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

FAQs for Hollingbourne
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do you restore period basins?
Yes. Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair them sympathetically.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide, so Hollingbourne is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What we’re called out for in Hollingbourne
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Knocks from hair straighteners
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- An antique basin with chips
- Fine cracks across the glaze
What to look for in a quote

- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
