Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Period basins frequently have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
How we handle sink repair in How Green
A chip on a basin is hard to ignore. The chip is filled, shaped and polished to blend with the surrounding glaze. Typical jobs include chips from dropped toiletries and fine cracks across the glaze, across vanity unit basins, ceramic & vitreous china basins and antique & period basins.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in How Green use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
How Green questions
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Frequently. Send us pictures and we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
No. The repair is done in place, without disconnecting anything.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is a chipped basin repairable?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Do you come to How Green?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to How Green and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in How Green
Prices start from £95. There’s no area surcharge for How Green. What changes the price is:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
