How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a couple of hours for most chips. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
- We clear away and tell you when it can be used.
Before we arrive
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Keeping it looking good
Most damage we see is avoidable. A few tips:
- Ask a plumber not to overtighten fittings
- Keep straighteners away from the basin
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Store toiletries on a shelf
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Cracks by the tap holes can grow, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If water is getting through, isolate the basin until it’s seen to.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Finding the same basin again is not always possible, particularly if it matches the toilet and bath. Repairing it keeps the suite together. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Kit's Coty. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Questions from Kit's Coty
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you repair a cracked basin?
Generally, if it is not leaking. If it leaks through, replacement is normally better.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kit's Coty use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
What sink repair costs
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A picture taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Plumbing leaks
- A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)
- Through cracks that let water out
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Ceramic & vitreous china basins
- Enamelled basins
- Antique & period basins
- Belfast and butler sinks
- Vanity unit basins
