What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Leaks from the fittings
  • Crazing all over, which suits resurfacing
  • A basin coming away from the wall (that needs refixing)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price sink repair

Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First, we check the basin is firm and dry.
  2. We degrease and key the damage.
  3. We build up the filler and sand it flush.
  4. We match the colour and the gloss.
  5. We tidy up and give you the curing time.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire basin, we can price the job.

Advice

Your questions about sink repair in Little Mill

What areas do you cover?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you cover Little Mill?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Little Mill for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a crack in a basin repairable?

Often. Photos let us say whether it’s repairable.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Looking after it afterwards

Simple care helps the repair last. We recommend:

  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Repair chips before they stain

Go gently for the first few days, then stick to mild cleaners. Keep heavy bottles and hot tools away from the rim.

Chips collect dirt and stain over time, so repairing them early keeps the job simple.

Do you need sink repair in Little Mill?

  • Chips from dropped toiletries
  • Damage to a basin in a vanity unit
  • A crack near the taps
  • A period basin that needs restoring

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Little Mill

If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Prices start from £95. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Colour-matched on site

Read our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repairs by material

Composite and resin

Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.

Period and antique

Period basins often have marks and character worth keeping. We repair carefully around original features and leave the character intact.
