Common questions in Hoo
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. A crack that leaks right through generally means a new basin.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Sink repair in Hoo, done in place
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Whether it’s chips around the rim and an antique basin with chips, we can help, whatever the material.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

How it works
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a couple of hours for most chips, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- The vanity, floor and taps are protected.
- The damage is cleaned and prepared.
- We fill it and shape it to the basin’s curve.
- We match the colour by hand.
- We polish it to match the shine and leave it to cure.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the area is dry
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Do not overtighten taps
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
A quick wipe after use helps, and avoid strong bleach or descalers.
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, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hoo. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole basin
We price from photos so you don’t 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 we will come back with a fixed figure.

Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
- A crack that leaks right through the basin

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
