How we handle sink repair in Hythe
A chipped basin is one of the most noticeable bits of damage in a bathroom. The chip is filled, shaped and polished so it blends into the glaze. We’re often asked to fix chips from dropped toiletries and a crazed, tired basin, across Belfast and butler sinks, vanity unit basins and ceramic & vitreous china basins.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- What it’s made of, if you know
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Vitreous china
Vitreous china is fired ceramic with a glassy glaze. Repairs are polished to match that glaze.

Questions from Hythe
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the entire UK, including Hythe and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. The surrounding area is protected and we work in place.
How much does sink repair cost in Hythe?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A basin cracked through and leaking
- Widespread crazing

How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- Next we fill the damage and shape it to the basin’s profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish it into the surrounding surface.
- You can typically use the basin later that day or the next.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
