What affects the price in Kingsnorth
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
Landlord and trade work in Kingsnorth
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Different materials, different repairs
Vitreous china
Ceramic basins have a fired, glassy surface. We polish repairs to match the glaze.
Period and antique
Older basins may have crazing, chips and makers’ marks. We repair them sympathetically and leave the character intact.
Should you replace it?
A new basin often means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and repairs to the tiles or vanity unit. A repair leaves everything in place. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why book with us

Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Don’t rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Keep heavy bottles off the rim
- Have new chips repaired quickly
Wipe the basin over after use, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so get it looked at early. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.
Common problems we fix in Kingsnorth
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- An antique basin with chips
- Chips on the rim or front edge
- A chipped vanity basin
- Knocks from hair straighteners
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
- How the room is protected while they work
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We protect the area around the basin.
- We clean and prepare the chip or crack.
- It’s filled and shaped to the basin.
- We match the colour by hand.
- The repair is polished to the basin’s gloss and left to cure.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
