How we handle sink repair in Maidstone
From cloakroom basins to period pieces, whatever they’re made of. Taps and wastes stay connected. We regularly repair ceramic & vitreous china basins, antique & period basins and Belfast and butler sinks, and common reasons people contact us are chips around the rim and a period basin that needs restoring.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.
Should you replace it?
If the basin is cracked right through and leaking, replacement is normally the answer. For chips and surface damage, repair is the better route. Our sink repair starts from £95. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean the basin and check the damage.
- We fill the chip or crack and shape it to the original profile.
- We colour-match the finish to the glaze.
- We polish the repair to blend it in.
- The basin can typically be used later that day or the next day.
Preparing for the visit

- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Keeping it looking good
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Use gentle cleaners
- Steer clear of harsh chemicals
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
A quick wipe after use helps, and steer clear of harsh chemicals.
A crack near the taps can spread, so it’s worth having it checked quickly. If it’s leaking, turn off the water to the basin until it’s checked.

Composite and resin
Cast mineral and resin basins are common in vanity units. They repair well, with colour mixed on site.
How we price sink repair
Prices start from £95. Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any details about the material
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your ME15 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Maidstone questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can a cracked sink be fixed?
In many cases. Send us photos and we will tell you.
Do you disconnect the taps?
No, it stays where it is. We protect the area around it and work in place.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
Everywhere in the UK, Maidstone included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a chip in a sink be fixed?
Yes. We fill the chip, colour-match it and polish it to the basin’s gloss.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maidstone use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
What we’re called out for in Maidstone
Glaze crazing comes with age and temperature changes, and strong chemicals speed it up.

- An original basin worth saving
