Repairing versus replacing in Kent Street
Swapping a basin frequently 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. Our sink repair starts from £95. 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.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Most jobs done in one visit
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK
- Same prices wherever you are

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Common questions in Kent Street
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you need to take the basin off the wall?
Not at all. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
In many cases. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Materials and what they mean for the repair
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair carefully around original features.
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a hard, glassy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we polish the repair to suit.
When a repair is not the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- A crack that leaks right through the basin
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we work on in Kent Street
- Antique & period basins

Aftercare tips
To keep it looking its best for years:
- Get chips repaired early
- Avoid strong bleach and descalers
- Avoid abrasive pads
- Do not overtighten taps
Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.
Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.
