How we handle sink repair in Kenardington
Period basins are worth keeping, and we work around makers’ marks wherever possible. A like-for-like replacement can be hard to find. Our repair technicians work on vanity unit basins, Belfast and butler sinks and enamelled basins, and common reasons people get in touch are crazing in the glaze and cracks starting at the waste.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do.

What affects the price in Kenardington
Prices start from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire basin
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TN26 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When to call us in Kenardington
Fine crazing in the glaze is usually down to age, and harsh cleaners can make it worse.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Chips from dropped toiletries
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- A chipped basin edge
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find more damage
- What preparation is included
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Keeping it looking good
How the surface is treated afterwards matters. Here’s what we suggest:
- Store toiletries on a shelf
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Repair chips before they stain
Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, to avoid new chips.
A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin. Early repair keeps it a small job.
Landlord and trade work in Kenardington
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.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kenardington as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Replacing a basin can mean a plumber, new taps or wastes and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What else we do in Kenardington
Different materials, different repairs
Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.
Vitreous china
Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we repair
- Vanity unit basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
