FAQs for Kent Street
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes, it’s one of our most common jobs. We shape and polish it to match the glaze.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes, carefully. We repair them without hiding their character.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Leaks from the fittings
- Glaze crazing across the whole basin, where resurfacing is better
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Vanity unit basins
- Enamelled basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Antique & period basins
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
What your basin is made of matters
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. The gloss is what makes a repair blend in, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically.

Common problems we fix in Kent Street
Overtightened taps and wastes put stress on the ceramic, which can crack it around the holes.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- A chipped basin edge
- Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
- A period basin that needs restoring
- Cracks around the tap holes or waste
Before booking anyone
- How soon you can use it again
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether they match the colour on site
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the surface is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Use gentle cleaners
- Get chips repaired early
- Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
Use gentle cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
