Sink repair for Kemsing homes

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a couple of hours for most chips, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole basin, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Kemsing

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kemsing use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. There’s no charge for travel to Kemsing. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

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.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Kemsing, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Kemsing

Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, and cracks can start at the tap holes.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Crazing in the glaze
  • Chips on a built-in basin
  • Knocks from hair straighteners
  • A chipped basin edge

How to care for the repair

A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:

  • Avoid strong bleach and descalers
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge

Keep hair straighteners and heavy bottles away from the basin edge, so it does not get chipped again.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Early repair keeps it a small job.

Should you replace it?

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips, surface cracks and crazing, a repair is generally best. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

Repairs by material

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.

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, and the colour is mixed to suit.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
  • Through cracks that let water out

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Kemsing

  • Antique & period basins
  • Enamelled basins
