Kingsnorth questions

Will you remove the sink?

No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can a chip in a sink be fixed?

Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Glaze crazing across the entire basin, where resurfacing is better
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
  • A basin cracked through and leaking

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Kingsnorth

  • Enamelled basins
  • Antique & period basins
  • Belfast and butler sinks
  • Ceramic & vitreous china basins
  • Vanity unit basins

Should you replace it?

Finding the same basin again is not always possible, especially in a matching suite. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Prices start from £95. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingsnorth as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We check the basin is secure and not leaking.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. Filler is built up and sanded flush.
  4. Colour and gloss are matched.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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.

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, with colour mixed on site.

How to care for the repair

How the surface is treated afterwards matters:

  • Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
  • Have new chips repaired quickly
  • Store toiletries on a shelf
  • Use mild cleaners only

Go gently for the first few days, then clean it with mild products. Keep heavy bottles and hot hair tools off the rim.

Chips near the waste or taps can let water in and stain. Repairing it early keeps the job small.
