Sink repair at your home in Lydd-on-Sea

Period basins are worth keeping, and we repair around makers’ marks where we can. Replacing them with something similar can be difficult. Typical jobs include a period basin that needs restoring and a chipped basin edge, on ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right.

  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 clear away and tell you when it can be used.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Should you replace it?

Basins are often built into vanity units or tiled in, so replacing one disturbs more than you’d expect. Repairing it keeps everything as it is. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Colour-matched on site
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our pricing.

What your basin is made of matters

Composite and resin

Many vanity units have resin or composite basins. Chips and scratches can be filled and matched, and the colour is mixed to suit.

Vitreous china

Most basins are vitreous china with a hard, glossy glaze. Matching that shine is the key to a good repair, so we finish the repair to the same sheen.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Aftercare tips

Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. These habits help:

  • Steer clear of harsh chemicals
  • Fittings shouldn’t be over-tightened
  • Keep straighteners away from the basin
  • Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent

Don’t rest hot hair tools or heavy bottles on the rim, so it doesn’t get chipped again.

A chip near the waste or taps can let water into the body of the basin, which can stain the repair area. Repairing it early keeps the job small.

Prices and what affects them

Prices start from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire basin, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • A basin that moves on its brackets
  • A crack that leaks right through the basin
  • Plumbing leaks

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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